“…The seasonal patterns of the main zooplankton groups in the Bay of Marseille during the time series are consistent with zooplankton successions observed in Mediterranean coastal areas [5,27,[51][52][53][54], with a zooplankton community dominated by copepods in response to the spring phytoplankton blooms and a second late summer -fall peak of abundance. In the Gulf of Lion, phytoplankton-zooplankton peaks are associated for both periods with strong grazing activity [14].…”

“…During this season, the water column stratification results in a two-layered euphotic zone (Coale and Bruland, 1987), with the upper layer being nutrient limited and the lower layer being light limited (Mignot et al, 2014). Regardless of the general oligotrophic condition in this region, many studies have described a surprising diversity and biomass of higher trophic level communities (Alemany et al, 2006; Rodriguez et al, 2013; Fernández de Puelles et al, 2014; Hidalgo et al, 2014; Laiz-Carrión et al, 2015; Reglero et al, 2017), often utilizing chlorophyll- a (Chl- a ) or fluorescence estimates as a proxy for primary production biomass to assess food web linkages of many marine species. However, the relation between carbon biomass (C) and Chl- a concentration (C:Chl- a ) in phytoplankton cells is largely variable and is influenced by light, nutrients and temperature (Jakobsen and Markager, 2016).…”

“…Large-sized zooplankton such as euphausiids, (particularly M. norvegica) has higher δ 15 N values. Mean isotopic value of mesozooplankton coincide with those of copepods historically collected from the same region (Fanelli et al, 2009), reinforcing the conclusion that copepods were the main constituents of the mesozooplankton (>70%) in summer and late autumn across series of years (Fernández de Puelles et al, 2014).…”
