Department of Oceanography, University of Southampton, Southampton Oceanography Centre European Way, Southampton, SO14 3ZH, UK
Received on October 26, 1995; accepted on November 28, 1995 Acartia margalefi is recorded for the first time in British waters, where it is found to be an important copepod in the mesozooplankton community structure of Southampton Water and Horsea Lake. Within the genus Acartia. this species occurs all through the annual cycle. Abundance is higher in the upper estuary, where the range of temperature and salinity is relatively wider over the year. It is clear that A.margalefi is an estuarine species which can tolerate a significant range of temperature.
