Outline of Final Research Achievements

To understand responses of oceanic zooplankton communities against environmental changes, we constructed long-term zooplankton dynamics by using archived mooring ADCP data. In this study, two data sets of ADCP collected from the subtropical North Pacific and the Arctic Ocean were used.
The acoustic backscattering strengths derived from ADCP data were significantly correlated with zooplankton biomasses derived from plankton net samples in our study. So, we considered that temporal change of zooplankton biomasses can be reconstructed from long-term mooring ADCP data. Vertical distribution of subtropical zooplankton were influenced by winter mixing, stratification, passage of mesoscale eddy, and age of moon. In the Arctic Ocean, zooplankton biomasses were increased from early 2000s to early 2010s. The increasing was probably associated with decreasing of sea ice and increasing of sea surface water temperature.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

地球温暖化やエルニーニョなど海洋環境の変化は生物群集に影響を与えるが、外洋域における生物応答の具体的な事例報告は少ない。これは継続的に得られた外洋域の生物サンプルシリーズが極めて少ないため、生物群集に現れる変化の抽出が困難なためである。本研究では、海洋物理学分野で使われる音響式流向流速計(ADCP)の長期データを利用した動物プランクトン動態の復元を行い、その有用性を明らかにした。
