Water quality - Guidance on sampling of mesozooplankton from marine and brackish water using mesh
This document specifies procedures for sampling of mesozooplankton using nets and continuous ribbon-sampling devices in marine and brackish waters for the purpose of water quality assessment and determination of ecological status of ecosystems.
Guidance on sampling procedures and the subsequent steps of preservation and storage are given. The sampling procedures allow estimates of species occurrence and their abundance (relative or absolute), including spatial distribution and seasonal and long-term temporal trends, for a given body of water.
The described methods are restricted to the sampling of mesozooplankton that inhabit marine and brackish waters and exclude the shallow littoral zones which require a different type of sampling (e.g. zooplankton in salt marshes).
Wasserbeschaffenheit - Anleitung zur Probenahme von Mesozooplankton aus marinen und Übergangsgewässern mittels Netzen
Dieses Dokument legt Verfahren zur Probenahme von Mesozooplankton mithilfe von Netzen und kontinuierlichen Probenahmegeräten in marinen und brackigen Gewässern zum Zwecke der Bewertung der Wasserqualität und der Bestimmung des ökologischen Zustands von Ökosystemen fest.
Es wird eine Anleitung zu Probenahmeverfahren und den anschließenden Schritten der Konservierung und Lagerung gegeben. Die Probenahmeverfahren ermöglichen eine Abschätzung des Vorkommens von Arten und deren Abundanz (relativ oder absolut), einschließlich der räumlichen Verteilung und saisonaler sowie Langzeittrends für einen bestimmten Wasserkörper.
Die beschriebenen Verfahren gelten nur für die Probenahme von Mesozooplankton, das marine und brackige Gewässer bewohnt, und berücksichtigen nicht die flachen Uferzonen, die eine andere Art der Probenahme erfordern (z. B. Zooplankton in Salzmarschen).
Qualité de l'eau - Document d'orientation pour l'échantillonnage du mésozooplancton dans les eaux de mer ou saumâtres à l'aide de filets
Le présent document fournit des procédures pour l'échantillonnage du mésozooplancton dans les eaux marines et saumâtres, à l'aide de filets et de dispositifs d'échantillonnage en continu sur bandes collectrices, dans le but d'évaluer la qualité de l'eau et de déterminer l'état écologique des écosystèmes.
Des recommandations relatives aux procédures d'échantillonnage et aux étapes suivantes de conservation et de stockage sont fournies. Les procédures d'échantillonnage donnent une estimation de l'occurrence des espèces et de leur abondance (relative ou absolue), y compris la distribution spatiale et les tendances temporelles saisonnières et à long terme pour une masse d'eau donnée.
Les méthodes décrites sont limitées à l'échantillonnage du mésozooplancton qui habite les eaux marines et saumâtres et excluent les zones littorales peu profondes qui requièrent un autre type d'échantillonnage (par exemple, le zooplancton des marais salants).

Introduction
The Zooplankton community is an important part of the pelagic food web, since it forms the link
between primary producers and higher trophic levels. Changes in phytoplankton biomass and
species/size composition change mesozooplankton community structure and productivity. Such
changes potentially influence fish stock recruitment and sedimentation (i.e. indirectly affecting oxygen
concentration in the bottom water) [1].
Surveys of zooplankton have provided valuable information for the environmental monitoring of
marine and brackish waters, because this group includes species which:
— occur in a wide range of marine and brackish waters over a large geographical area and at the same
time have specific environmental requirements,
— are relatively well known with regard to their geographical distribution and environmental
requirements, and
— have a generally high capacity for dispersal enabling them to respond rapidly to remedial actions,
while sampling requires only a modest expenditure of time and equipment.
A procedure for analysing zooplankton (identification, counting and biomass determination) in marine
and brackish waters is given in EN 17204 [2]. This procedure comprises how to identify and enumerate
zooplankton collected in nets which is utilized to estimate quantitative information on diversity,
abundance and biomass with regard to spatial distribution and long-term temporal trends for a given
body of water.
