Abstract in Portuguese
O principal objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a dinâmica populacional dos cladóceros e apendiculários em uma estação fixa ao largo de Ubatuba (SP, Brasil). As amostras de zooplâncton foram coletadas mensalmente, de julho de 2005 a dezembro de 2008, com uma rede de malha de 200 ?m. Os apendiculários e os cladóceros foram identificados, classificados em estágios, contados e medidos. Ambos os grupos taxonômicos tiveram maiores densidades nas camadas superficiais, principalmente quando a coluna de água estava estratificada devido às intrusões de fundo da Água Central do Atlântico Sul (ACAS). A temperatura foi a principal variável influenciando na distribuição de Penilia avirostris e dos apendiculários, enquanto para Pseudevadne tergestina e Evadne spinifera a salinidade foi um melhor indicador da variabilidade temporal. A pressão de predação e o alimento disponível também pareceram controlar a distribuição dos apendiculários e dos cladóceros. Indivíduos gamogênicos ocorreram associados aos máximos de abundância; eles foram raros e pouco abundantes, indicando que na costa de Ubatuba os cladóceros podem se propagar apenas por partenogênese durante todo o ano. Os apendiculários tiveram uma produção anual média de ~70% em relação à dos copépodes, confirmando a importância dos apendiculários no fluxo de carbono em regiões costeiras tropicais e subtropicais.

Abstract in English
This work aimed to evaluate the population dynamics of cladocerans and appendicularians at a fixed station off Ubatuba (state of São Paulo, Brazil). Zooplankton samples were monthly collected, from July 2005 through December 2008, with a 200 ?m mesh net. Appendicularians and cladocerans were identified, classified into stages, counted and measured. Both taxonomic groups had higher densities at upper layers, especially when the water column was stratified due to bottom intrusions of the South Atlantic Central Water (SACW). Temperature was the main parameter influencing on the distribution of Penilia avirostris and appendicularians, whereas salinity was the principal regulating parameter of Pseudevadne tergestina and Evadne spinifera population dynamics. Predation pressure and avaiable food also seemed to control the distribution of appendicularians and cladocerans. Gamogenic individuals occurred associated with abundance maxima; they were rare and had low abundances, which indicates that in Ubatuba cladocerans may propagate only through parthenogenesis during the entire year. Appendicularians had an annual mean production ~70% of that of copepods, which confirms that appendicularians play a key role in the carbon flow in coastal subtropical and tropical regions
