The Oyashio–Kuroshio Transitional Region (OKTR) is a nursery ground for pelagic fishes; thus, community succession of mesozooplankton is pivotal to understand prey availability, and it subsequently affects recruitment success. We investigated the surface distribution, biomass, and species composition of thaliaceans (salps and doliolids) that potentially have a significant impact on the food web and biogeochemical cycle by forming intensive blooms. A total of 11 thaliacean species were recorded…

Diel vertical migration of Thaliacea was monitored during different seasonal cruises in 1997 in the southwestern waters of Taiwan using samples collected by multiple plankton sampling nets and a 1 m plankton net to show species richness and abundance of these species varied seasonally, but was always greater at night than during the day.

The diet of D. gegenbauri is considerably more diverse than previously described, that parasites are common in wild populations, and that prey quality, quantity and parasites are likely all important factors in regulating doliolid population dynamics in continental shelf environments.

Results indicate that doliolids, which were seeded by populations originating from the Kuroshio, formed dense blooms in response to submesoscale physical events and would alter the sinking particle properties and the epipelagic food web structure through their grazing and mortality.

Aggregate stages of the salps Thalia democratica, Cyclosalpa affinis and Salpa cylindrica collected by SCUBA diving in the Mid-Atlantic Bight were fed with naturally occurring food assemblages, implying they may act not only as potential competitors with microzooplankton, but also as consumers of them.
