Twilight vertical migrations of zooplankton in a Chilean fjord

Time series of acoustic backscatter and vertical velocity profiles were obtained at three sites along a Chilean fjord with the purpose of determining dominant structures of vertical migrations of the sound scattering layer. Ancillary data obtained with stratified net samples indicated that the sound...

Therefore, distributions of acoustic backscatter anomalies and vertical velocities were attributed to vertical migrations of predominantly these organisms. Migration patterns were dominated by twilight excursions in which organisms swam toward the water surface at sunset, spent &lt;0.5h at a depth near the pycnocline (∼10m) and then swam downward to depths between ∼20 and ∼60m. After congregating at those depths during night-time, organisms swam upward again toward the pycnocline at sunrise, spent &lt;1h near the pycnocline and swam downward to their day-time depths (&gt;100m). This migration strategy can also be termed ‘semidiel migration’ as two double excursions were linked to light levels. The reasons for this twilight migration remain uncertain. But it is possible that the up and down motion around sunset was related to predation avoidance, hunger–satiation state, ontogeny, seaward transport evasion, or reaction to the environmental shock from the pycnocline, or a combination of all or some of them. In contrast, the sunrise double excursion was probably linked to feeding requirements by organisms that need to spend the day at great depth with no food available.
