n Diurnal vertical migration is a very common phenomenon. n A few examples Chapter 17 Diurnal vertical migration Changes in the abundance of the copepod Calanus finmarchicus in the surface , between 06:00 and 14:00 h during 6 weeks from 21st June to 11th August, 1991, off Californian coast n samples of night plankton at the surface are notably different from those taken during the day, not only in their faunistic composition but also quantitatively. n The number of ind. colleted in the surface layers become ten times higher between 16:00 and 20:00pm. n T he only possible explanation of t h e s e v a r i a t i o n s i s v e r t i c a l migration, representing a rhythm of 24h. § 17. 1 Characteristics diurnal vertical migration of zooplankton Diurnal vertical distribution of the copepod C. finmarchicus females in Loch Fyne, Clyde Sea, Scotland n Distribution as a function of the time and maximum depth sampled where the c o p e p o d G a u s s i a princeps is found: solid line, regression curve: z=zo+a cos wt = 487-230 cos wt. n Vertical distribution of the copepod C. finmarchicus from the 14th to 16th July, 1933 in Georgia Bank n Top: females n Medium: Copepodid V n Bottom: Females on 17th and 18th July 1933 Groups species Distance of DVM (m) Cladocera Daphnia longispina 0.6 Copepods Diaptomus shoshome Calanus finmarchicus Pleuromamma robusta Metridia pacifica 8.8 About 100 600 400-500 Mysis Boreomysis microps Eucopia unguiculata 400 400 Hyporiid Vibia propinqua 400 Euphausiid Nematoscelis megalops Thysanopoda acutifrons 200 600 Distance of DVM in some planktonic crustacea n C husing ( 1951) analysed all the work on crustacea and considered that it is possible to arrange their patterns of migration in the following general scheme: 1. Rising in the evening from the “day depth” towards the surface 2. Departure from the surface at about midnight or before it 3. Rising to the surface just before dawn 4.
