- Description
- Global climate change is anticipated to be associated with changes in the salinity regimes of southern African estuaries as a result of the increased frequency of occurrences of extreme weather events (droughts and coastal storms) and the rise in sea level. The current investigation assessed the impact of salinity on the egg production rate (EPR) of the numerically important sac-spawning calanoid copepod, Pseudodiaptomus hessei, in a temporarily open/closed southern African estuary. The EPR of the copepod was determined using in vitro incubations during three distinct salinity regimes corresponding to the freshwater-deprived (hypersaline-salinity 38 PSU), freshwater-dominated (mesohaline-salinity 5 PSU), and polyhaline water phase (salinity 24 PSU).
