Shifts in Zooplankton Community Structure: Implications for Food Web Processes in the Upper San Francisco Estuary
Published in Estuaries and Coasts
Zooplankton are an important trophic link and a key food source for many larval fish species in estuarine ecosystems. The present study documents temporal and spatial zooplankton dynamics in Suisun Bay and the Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta—the landward portion of the San Francisco Estuary (California, USA)—over a 37-year period (1972–2008). The zoop...
