<p>Ariake Bay has Japan’s biggest nori seaweed farming field in the innermost part and has suffered from environmental degradation since the late 1990s. To elucidate the seasonal patterns in the copepod community structure in the inner bay, we examined monthly plankton-net samples collected in the top 2-m layer at 11 stations for 5 years from April 2002 to March 2007. Of the 11 stations, 7 were at the high-turbidity site (HTS) representing the nori farming field and 4 in the offshore low-turbidity site (LTS) for comparison. The copepod community in the HTS was dominated almost year round by Oithona davisae, whose 5-year mean abundance of 203 ind. L−1 comprised 84% of copepods and was more than double that in the LTS. O. davisae became extremely abundant in summer with the maximum monthly mean abundance in the HTS of 2756 ind. L−1 and the maximum sample-specific abundance of 10116 ind. L−1. The following predominant copepods in the HTS were Parvocalanus crassirostris in summer–autumn, Microsetella norvegica in summer, Acartia omorii in spring, and Paracalanus parvus s.l. irregularly. Possible causes for high abundance of O. davisae in the HTS are assumed to be sufficient food resources, water temperature over 21°C, and a wide salinity tolerance range of the species.</p>
