Sažetak
The percentage contribution of F. rostrata to total copepod abundance was found to be low at the coastal areas. The minima of the contribution of F. rostrata generally occurred during summer, and the maxima in autumn – winter. In offshore waters of the eastern Mediterranean, F. rostrata dominated mainly during the warm period, whereas in the Balearic Sea, higher percentages were found during spring. Its reproductive strategy, trophic modes, and population dynamics should be investigated in order to understand the ecological role of this species within the pelagic foodweb of oligotrophic areas.
