Abstract

Annual variations in composition and quantitative structure of the zooplankton in two hydrological dissimilar sectors of Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, were analyzed. In the northern sector, which is more influenced by oceanic waters, 35 taxa dominated by herbivores, were identified. In the semi-enclosed southern sector, 34 taxa were found. The holoplanktonic carnivores like Sagitta enflata and Lucifer chachei as well as differential residence time of the seston, are responsible of the zooplancton quantitative structure and diversity in the Bay.
