Time series of phytoplankton biomass and taxonomic compositionhave been obtained for the 3 years 1992, 1993 and 1994 in thenorthern part of the Southern Ocean (station Kerfix, 5040'S,6825;E) Autotrophic biomass was low throughout the year (<0.2mg m3 except during a short period in summer when a maximumof 1.2 mg chlorophyll (Chl) a m was reached. During winter,the integrated biomass was low (<10 mg m2) and associatedwith deeply mixed water, whereas the high summer biomass (>20mg m2) was associated with increased water column stability.During summer blooms, the >10 µ;m size fraction contributed60% to total integrated biomass. Large autotrophic dinoflagellates,mainly Prorocentrum spp., were associated with the summer phytoplankton maxima and accounted for >80% of the total autotrophcarbon biomass. In November and December, the presence of thelarge heterotrophic dinoflagellates Protoperidinium spp. andGyro dinium spp. contributed a high proportion of total carbonbiomass. During winter, the <10 µm size fraction contributed80% of total Chi a biomass with domination of the picoplanktonsize fraction. The natural assemblage included mainly nakedflagellates such as species of the Prasinophyceae, Cryptophyceaeand Prymnesiophyceae. During spring, picocyanobacteria occurredin sub-surface water with a maximum abundance in September of106 cells 11 相似文献

Dominance of microflagellates over diatoms in the Antarctic areas of deep vertical mixing and krill concentrations 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Phytoplankton data obtained during six summer Polish expeditionsto the Antarctic Peninsula area, are compared with concurrentlyrecorded data on water column stabilities and krill abundance.The results show that flagellates (1.520 µm) arenumerically dominant over diatoms in the areas of deep verticalmixing and/or extensive krill concentrations. Of 102 stationsdominated by flagellates, 85 (83.3%) are located in a well mixedwater column (>100 m) and correspond to a mean krill densityof 15346 t Nm2. In the same areas, estimated flagellatecarbon biomass exceeds diatom carbon. On the other hand, ofthe 40 stations dominated by diatoms, 36 (90%) are located inareas of increased water column stability (upper mixed layerof 1050 m) and correspond to a low mean krill biomassof 0.344.6 t Nm2. Positive correlations of flagellateto diatom (F:D) cell number ratios with the depth of the uppermixed layer suggest light limitation of diatom growth and anincreased sinking rate of diatoms relative to flagellates inthe areas of deep vertical mixing. The relationship of the F:Dratio with krill abundance suggests that krill prefer feedingon diatoms and are less efficient in grazing particles of thesize of microflagellates (<20 µm). Flagellates exceeddiatoms in an unstable water column when the phytoplankton populationsare low; both algal groups increase in numbers with growingstability. The results provide field evidence that deep verticalmixing and krill grazing create conditions for the dominanceof flagellates over diatoms. Both factors acting together arelikely to suppress diatom blooms in the Antarctic. 相似文献

Phytoplankton species composition and abundance in the Indian sector of the Antarctic Ocean 总被引:8,自引:8,他引:0
Summary Water samples collected in the southwestern Indian Ocean between Africa and Antarctica in March 1980 were analyzed quantitatively for phytoplankton. Diatoms dominate the phytoplankton in this region and their numbers generally increase southward with peaks of abundance in both the northern Antarctic Zone and south of the Antarctic Divergence. Average cell numbers (i.e., 6.1×105 diatoms l-1 in the Antarctic Zone) are comparable to maximum numbers previously reported for the Southern Ocean. Dinoflagellates, flagellates and monads occur in highest concentrations north of the Polar Front. Their numbers are somewhat reduced south of the Antarctic Divergence, and are lowest in the Antarctic Zone. Various diatom assemblages are characteristic of different latitudinal zones. Waters north of and in the vicinity of the Polar Front are rich in the Nitzschia, Pseudonitzschia group of species. In the Antarctic Zone, Nitzschia nana and Dactyliosolen tenuijunctus dominate. Nitzschia species of the Fragilariopsis group are most numerous at stations south of the Antarctic Divergence. Striking differences are noted between the species compositions of quantitative and net-haul samples. A few nanoplanktonic diatoms (e.g. Nitzschia nana and single cells of Chaetoceros spp.) and the weakly silicified Dactyliosolen tenuijunctus, which are dominant in the quantitative samples, are either entirely absent or present only as solitary cells in the net collections. 相似文献

In January-February 1991, in Prydz Bay, phytoplankton bloomwas evident in the inner shelf area with the dominant diatomsbeing represented mainly by pennate species of the Nitzschia-Fragilariopsisgroup. Dinoflagellates and naked flagellates were most abundantin the centre of the bay; however, larger heterotrophic speciesprevailed at the southern stations. Cell carbon values (average317 µg l1; range 92-1048 µg l1) foundin the bloom in the south were chiefly due to pennate diatomsand larger heterotrophic dinoflagellates. Much lower carbonvalues (average 51 µg l1; range 7-147 µgl1) in the outer shelf region were mainly contributedby large centric diatoms (70-110 mu;m) and small dinoflagellates(5-25 µm). Wide ranges of algal cell sizes were observedin both southern and northern communities; the overlapping ofsizes of diatoms and flagellates, the latter containing heterotrophs,suggested complex trophic relationships within the planktonand an enhanced heterotrophic activity in the south.
