Fifty percent (by numbers) of the zooplankton were calanoid copepods, the dominant species beingAcartia clausi. In 1973, individuals of summer-fall zooplankton species were much more numerous than in 1972, butAcartia clausi, the dominant winter-spring species, was equally abundant both years. Release of grazing pressure by zooplankton did not appear to trigger the winter-spring flowering of 1973, but a definite relationship was seen between ctenophores, herbivorous zooplankton and phytoplankton in the summer and fall of 1973. Moderate numbers of zooplankton were present in the winter around the time of the phytoplankton bloom, but the major peaks of biomass and numbers occurred in the spring when water temperatures were on the increase. Zooplankton biomass dropped to near zero in late summer and fall.","PeriodicalId":106819,"journal":{"name":"Chesapeake Science","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1976-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124209477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Effects were greatest in the lower, polyhaline portions of the James and York estuaries, where many abundant species were eliminated from shallow bottoms due to the usually low salinities and several species were eliminated or reduced in abundance on deeper bottoms due to the somewhat reduced salinity but, more importantly, to low oxygen concentrations resulting to strong density stratification of the water masses. Irruptions of opportunistic species followed these perturbations and the deep mud bottom community in the lower York estuary had not recovered 2 1/2 years after the storm. The primary alteration to usually mesohaline communities was an infusion of species more abundant in oligohaline and/or shallow brackish habitats. Communities in usually, oligohaline or tidal freshwater reaches of the James and York estuaries and those at the mouth of the bay were hardly affected by Agnes.","PeriodicalId":106819,"journal":{"name":"Chesapeake Science","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1976-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128566327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
