The pelagic ecosystem of the Arctic Ocean is threatened by severe changes such as the
reduction in sea‐ice coverage and increased inflow of warmer Atlantic water. The latter is …

In the past several years, the capabilities of optical tools and in situ imaging devices have
greatly expanded and are now revolutionizing the field of plankton research. These tools …

The increasing use of image-based observing systems in marine ecosystems allows for
more quantitative analysis of the ecological zonation of zooplankton. Developing methods …

Zooplankton analysis represents a bottleneck in marine ecology studies due to the difficulty
to obtain zooplankton data. The last decades have seen the intense development of …

The present work aims to show that high throughput imaging systems can be useful to
estimate mesozooplankton community size and taxonomic descriptors that can be the base …

Plankton size spectra are important indicators of the ecosystem state, yet such
measurements are typically biased by the available sampling methods. Here, we combined …

The mesozooplankton community in Delaware Bay is an important part of the pelagic
ecosystem, connecting primary production to higher trophic levels while also representing …

To evaluate the utility of size-based indices derived from an Optical Plankton Counter (OPC)
through detection of spatial and temporal trends in zooplankton biomass, zooplankton size …

The optical plankton counter (OPC) and recently the laser OPC (LOPC) have been used
primarily in two measurement applications:(1) identification of specific zooplankton species …

Zooplankton plays a major role in ocean food webs and biogeochemical cycles, and
provides major ecosystem services as a main driver of the biological carbon pump and in …
