    Abstract:
    Zooplankton were studied in the largest scale investigation in the South Yellow Sea in spring 2007 by using large plankton net when the green tide hasn't yet occurred. Ninety-six zooplankton species were identified. Copepods, pelagic larvae and hydromedusae were comprised of the largest number of species; Calanus sinicus, Paracalanus parvus, Aidanosagitta crassa, Euphausiidae larvae, Oithona plumifera and Corycaeus affinis were dominant species and their abundance comprised 81.65% of total abundance. Three high abundance areas contained with an average of 224.31 ± 247.93 individual/m3, with an average total biomass of 674.33 ± 1696.92 mg/m3; The average of Shannon-Wiener diversity, Pielou evenness and Margalef richness was 1.96 ± 0.61, 0.50 ± 0.14 and 2.31 ± 0.95, respectively. The Shannon-Wiener diversity and Pielou evenness showed positive correlation with bottom temperature, while Shannon-Wiener diversity and Margalef richness were positively correlated with bottom salinity. Additionally, Pielou evenness and Margalef richness showed negative correlation with total abundance which indicated that sampling efforts might affect the findings.
