“…Invertebrate individuals have a lower risk of fish predation in the cultivated seaweed. In addition, some eggs of invertebrates are spawn on fronds of seaweed and do not sink to the bottom, facilitating their hatching and assembly (Wang et al., 2016).…”

The invertebrate communities on floating cultivated seaweeds were studied by both field surveys and experiments in order to analyze community structure in a typical mariculture zone, Nanao, South China. Samples of invertebrates were collected from the water and the thalli of the seaweeds, Gracilaria lemaneiformis and G. chouae. The results showed that both species were rapidly colonized by invertebrates after being introduced into the mariculture region. The communities on the seaweeds were significantly different from those in the ambient waters. Invertebrate abundance was much higher in the seaweed than in the water. The high proportion of larvae indicates that these species are using the seaweed thalli as a platform for reproduction. Therefore, large‐scale seaweed cultivation is beneficial for colonization of invertebrates and shelters higher numbers of copepod larvae than in the sea. This drives ecological changes in the invertebrate communities in coastal ecosystems and facilitates interactions with other communities and higher trophic levels in the cultivated seaweed food web. We propose a conceptual model that summarizes the results from this study and guides future studies on the relationships between seaweed and the invertebrate community.

“…Wang et al. (2016) recently reported that the potential recruitment of copepod resting eggs from sediments is affected by seaweed cultivation. Those changes not only lead to improved water quality but also affect α‐diversity (i.e., species richness), composition (e.g., the Harpacticoida), and the structure of the invertebrate community.…”

“…But also the contrary is true; the presence of a well structured cyst bank is an insurance for the functioning of the planktonic compartment. Some studies demonstrated as aquaculture farms may negatively affect the survival of the encysted community in the sediments below (Wang et al, 2016) or as fish and shellfish farms may cause a reduction of the hatching success in zooplankton resting eggs.…”

Resting stages are the strategy for species to avoid the variability of environmental conditions. In coastal confined marine habitats, variability of conditions is higher than in the open sea, and bottoms accumulate plankton resting stages in the so-called “marine cyst banks”. The benthic-pelagic coupling generated by this bi-location of plankton, however, is not clearly evident for all the involved species. This result is due to the still scant knowledge of the life cycles and life histories of single species. The study of plankton dynamics from the benthos point of view is useful and informative and it increases the potential complexity of a planktonic community in a confined area. Keywords: plankton, life cycles, resting stages, cysts, benthic-pelagic coupling, resurrection ecology.
