Abstract Cladocera represent an important zooplankton group because of their seasonal prominence in terms of abundance and their contribution in controlling primary production (phytoplankton). On a global scale, there are few studies on Cladocera in hypersaline environments. The present work aims to evaluate the spatio-temporal variation of the Cladocera assemblage across a salinity gradient in the habitats of the Araruama Lagoon. Samples were collected in random months over a period of four years at 12 fixed stations in the Araruama Lagoon using a WP2 plankton net equipped with a flow meter. Our results do not reveal significant influence of the tide and seasonal variation as factors affecting the Cladocera assemblage. Five Cladocera species were found in the Araruama Lagoon, only in stations 11 and 12 where they reached an average of 1,799 ± 3,103 ind. m-3. The mean of the Shannon Diversity Index was 0.45 ± 0.2. The species that stood out in terms of frequency and abundance were: Penilia avirostris (frequency of occurrence: 71%), followed by Pseudevadne tergestina (41%). The same species also stood out in terms of relative abundance, Penilia avirostris (87%) and Pseudevadne tergestina (11%). The absence of Cladocera in the innermost parts of the lagoon suggests that their entrance to these locations is possibly inhibited by the salinity and temperature gradient of the lagoon, being the main factors influencing the dynamics of the Cladocera assemblages.

Resumo Os cladóceros representam um importante grupo de zooplâncton, devido ao seu destaque sazonal em termos de abundância e à sua contribuição no controlo da produção primária (fitoplâncton). Em escala global, há poucos estudos com Cladocera em ambientes hipersalinos. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar a variação espaço-temporal da assembleia de Cladocera em um gradiente de salinidades da Lagoa de Araruama. As amostras foram coletadas em meses aleatórios, durante um período de quatro anos, em 12 estações fixas na Lagoa de Araruama, utilizando uma rede de plâncton WP2 equipada com um fluxômetro. Os nossos resultados não revelam uma influência significativa da maré e da variação sazonal como fatores que afetam a assembleia de Cladocera. Cinco espécies de Cladocera foram encontradas na Lagoa de Araruama. A assembleia apresentou maior densidade absoluta estações 12 e 11, atingindo uma a média de 1.799 ± 3.103 inds-3. A média do Índice de Diversidade de Shannon foi de 0,45 ± 0,2. As espécies que se destacaram em termos de frequência e abundância foram: Penilia avirostris (frequência de ocorrência: 71%), seguida de Pseudevadne tergestina (41%). As mesmas espécies também se destacaram em termos de abundância relativa Penilia avirostris (87%) e Pseudevadne tergestina (11%). A ausência de Cladocera nas partes mais interiores da lagoa sugere que a sua entrada nestes locais é possivelmente inibida pela salinidade e gradiente de temperatura da lagoa, sendo os principais fatores que influenciam a dinâmica da assembleia de Cladocera.

Development time of embryos in the brood pouch of the cladoceran Penilia avirostris Dana, 1852, was estimated by collecting zooplankton daily for 15 days in surface water of Guanabara Bay, Brazil. Each day the maturity stage of embryos of 90 parthenogenic females was noted. Total development time (egg to birth) varied from 2 to 3 days, the immature phase (stages I to IV) being generally longer (2 days) than intermediate and mature phases (1 day, stages V to XII). Similar results were obtained from Bottrell's equation, which takes water temperature into account.

The objective of this study was to report on some aspects of marine cladoceran reproduction in Guanabara Bay. Samples were collected during 1985 using a conical net with 200 mm mesh. Two species were identified: Penilia avirostris and Pseudevadne tergestina. Both species disappeared from the plankton in winter. Two months before this phenomenon, parthenogenetic females displayed reduction in brood size, while gamogenetic individuals appeared among the populations. This sequence of events is generally typical of marine cladoceran populations in temperate waters.

O tempo de desenvolvimento na câmara incubadora dos embriões do cladócero Penilia avirostris Dana, 1852, foi estimado a partir do zooplâncton coletado na água superficial da Baía de Guanabara, Brasil, diariamente, durante 15 dias. A cada dia, foi anotado o estágio de maturidade dos embriões de 90 fêmeas partenogenéticas. O tempo de desenvolvimento total (do ovo até o nascimento) variou de 2 a 3 dias, sendo a fase imatura (estágios I e IV) geralmente mais longa (2 dias) que as fases intermediárias e maturas (1 dia, estágios V a XII). Resultados similares foram obtidos com a equação de Bottrell, que leva em conta a temperatura da água.
