Abstract

Zooplankton act as an important structural constituent of matter and energy transfers in marine ecosystems. Structural and functional properties of zooplankton communities are subjected to multiple scale spatiotemporal variability modulated by natural factors. An increasing anthropogenic impact on pelagic ecosystems acts as the addition to natural factors. A retrospective analysis of data on zooplankton biomass (from the 1970s through first decades of the 21st century), was carried out across the regions (namely the Persian Gulf, the Mexican Gulf, the Caspian, Black and Mediterranean seas). These regions were ranked by the oil pollution, respectively. Published papers and international COPEPOD database were employed, to set up time series on the total zooplankton biomass of the upper 200 m layer, across regions for the time range from 1971 to 2020. Sea surface temperature and chlorophyll a concentration act as the background characteristics. Small sized copepods set up the base of zooplankton biomass across regions. Inter-annual negative trends were associated with highly polluted regions, while no trends were observed in regions with relatively low pollution.
