Resumen: In our six-year study, we investigated the dynamics of the meiofaunal community directly under the influence of a fish farm, in adjacent areas and in control areas outside the fish farm influence. Our data showed spatial, seasonal and annual variation in the meiofaunal community under the influence of the fish farm; however, no clear trend is discernible. Copepods are positively associated with mud and very fine sands, which seem to increase with time under the fish farm and adjacent areas, particularly in summer. As shown throughout the study period, copepods could soon take over other components of the community, resulting in a community shift. Our approach to investigate the dynamics of a community with a quick response to environmental changes proves useful to detect early-stage deviations from non-affected areas, which could be critical to distinguish environmental impacts before they cause major shifts in the environment.
