Response of planktonic copepods of the White Sea to the water salinity changes in acute and chronic experiments

In the White Sea, planktonic copepods Calanus glacialis, Pseudocalanus spp., Triconia borealis, and Metridia longa are usually not considered as tolerant to the water salinity decrease, and Oithona similis is generally attributed to the euryhaline species. However, the life cycle of the first two ge...

The mortality rate in these species was the highest after five days of gradual water freshening down to 15‰ (12.1 ± 1.8%), while the mortality rate was half as much in control vials at 25/26‰ and at 18‰ (6.4 ± 0.5% and 6.9 ± 0.6%, respectively).
