英文摘要:
The authors regret that the above article contained an error involving the copying of part of the introduction from “Almeda et al., 2013”. We apologize to the authors of this publication for any inconvenience caused to them, and have rewritten the first section of our article as below. Zooplankton play an important role in carbon turnover and biogeochemical balance in marine systems (Alcaraz et al. 2010). They may be toxicologically affected by pollutants (Walsh 1978), which they can accumulate to relatively large concentrations through the ingestion of contaminated food or via uptake by diffusion from water through their body surface or respiratory organs, a process which can lead to biomagnification (Gray 2002). Zooplankton can also affect the presence and properties of the pollutants in the water column through absorption, transformation and elimination (Fisk et al. 2001). As a result, knowledge of the interactions between contaminants and zooplankton is important in understanding the fate of pollution in the pelagic zone, and its potential impacts on marine ecosystems (Almeda et al., 2013). Mesozooplankton (>�200�mm), which are dominated by copepods (Longhurst 1985), may act as conduits for the movement, accumulation and cycling of pollutants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) through marine food webs (Cushing 1989; Harris et al. 1977; Lotufo 1998; Berrojalbiz et al. 2009). PAHs are known to have narcotic effects on copepods, as evidenced by the lack of motility at sublethal concentrations (Barata et al. 2005). Copepod feeding is sensitive to the presence of PAHs in the marine environment (Saiz et al. 2009); and development (Bejarano et al. 2006) and reproduction (Seuront 2011) of copepod communities may also be affected. Sea surface temperature (Straughan 1972), time of exposure (Berdugo et al. 1977), the types of aromatic hydrocarbons (Jiang et al. 2010) and body size (Jiang et al. 2012) can also impact on the effects of petroleum hydrocarbons on mesozooplankton. � 2016 Elsevier Ltd
