The viral and bacterioplankton communities of the Barents Sea were investigated using a combination of methods of electron and epifluorescence microscopy for the first time. The quantitative composition of the communities and the nature of their interactions were also determined. Our study showed that during the summer the abundance and biomass of bacterioplankton reached 0.4–4.0 × 106 cells/mL and 25.09–84.21 mg/m3 in offshore waters and 0.4–1.8 × 106 cells/mL and 19.63–100.19 mg/m3 in coastal waters, respectively. In both regions, the number of viruses (1.7–35.8 × 106 and 14.5–32.4 × 106 particles/mL) exceeded the number of bacteria by 2–31 and 13–60 times, respectively; the average viral production was 0.75106 and 1.74 × 106 particles/mL/day, respectively. The proportion of infected cells in the total bacterioplankton (7% on average) and virus-induced mortality of bacteria (8%) were much lower in offshore than in coastal waters (14 and 20%, respectively). 相似文献

The abundance, biomass, and composition of phototrophic picoeukaryotes (PPE, cell size less than 3 μm) were studied in Onega Bay of the White Sea in June 2015. The highest PPE abundance and biomass were registered in the 0–5-m water layer. In the bay, in the 0–5-m water layer, the average abundance and biomass varied from 0 to 36.8 × 104 cell/L and from 0 to 117 μg С/m3, respectively. The Illumina sequencing of V4 region of 18S rRNA gene revealed eight classes of PPE. Mamiellophyceae dominated both by number of reads and by operational taxonomic units. The green algae Bathycoccus prasinos, Ostreococcus tauri, and Micromonas pusila, as well as diatoms Skeletonema marinoi and Minidiscus trioculatus, were identified to the species level. 相似文献

During the anomalously hot summer of 2010, the water temperature in the Gorky reservoir reached 27–33°C. Pronounced cyanobacterial blooms occurred in the limnetic part of the reservoir. The average values for bacterioplankton abundance (11.58 ± 1.25 × 106 cell/mL), biomass (886 ± 96 mg/m3), and production [169 ± 32 mg C/(m3 day)] were twice as high as in the year with temperatures comparable to long-term average values. These parameters were higher in the limnetic part than in the river one. The abundance (4.86 ± 0.75 × 103 cell/mL) and biomass (138 ± 9 mg/m3) of heterotrophic nanoflagellates were 2.3 and 1.7 times higher, respectively, than in years with regular temperature regimes. The average number of plank-tonic viral particles (N v) in 2010 was 48.89 ± 9.54 × 106 particles/mL, while virus-induced bacterial mortality (VMB) accounted for 26.9 ± 4.6% of the bacterial production. The N v and VMB values in the limnetic part of the reservoir were, respectively, 1.5 and 1.8 times higher than in the river one. 相似文献

Dermal exposure to volatile compounds (VC) in municipal water while showering is typically estimated using a steady-state condition between VC in water impacting on skin and skin exposed to water. The lag times to achieve steady-state between VC and skin can vary in the range of 7.5–218.3 min, while shower duration is often less than these values. Estimates of dermal exposure to VC using steady-state while showering may misinterpret exposure. This study developed models and estimated exposure to some disinfection byproducts (DBPs) through dermal pathway by considering lag times while showering. Dermal uptakes of VC were compared using different approaches. In the proposed approach, uptakes of trihalomethanes were estimated between 9.55 × 10?10–1.43 × 10?8 mg/cm2 of skin during the lag times from exposure to water with trihalomethanes of 50 μg/L. These values were higher than the steady-state estimates (1.37 × 10?10–4.34 × 10?9 mg/cm2), and lower than the average exposure analysis (4.12 × 10-8–1.93 × 10?6 mg/cm2). Using the Drinking Water Surveillance Program data in Ontario, chronic daily intakes of trihalomethanes were estimated to be 9.40 × 10?7 (1.85 × 10?7–1.65 × 10?6), 3.89 × 10?6 (7.11 × 10?7–2.33 × 10?5), and 1.40 × 10?6 (4.0 × 10?7–1.77 × 10?6) mg/kg/day in Toronto, Ottawa, and Hamilton, respectively. The findings can be useful in understanding THMs exposure and risk through dermal pathway. 相似文献

The number of eider in the Wadden Sea of Schleswig-Holstein was counted by aerial surveys during 1986 and 1987. The highest
number occurred during migration in October 1987 with 151 000 ducks, the lowest number during the breeding time in May 1987
with 6000 ducks. About 100 000–120 000 eiders moult in July/August in the Wadden Sea of Schleswig-Holstein, but only 30 000–40
000 stay over winter. The average number was 62 000 ducks. Eider have increased in number since the seventies, when the average
population size was estimated to be only 23 000. The increase referred mainly to moulting and migrating eider, whereas numbers
in winter remained constant. There are substantial changes in the spatial distribution over the year. In most areas sites
used during moult, migration and winter can be clearly separated, although so far no obvious differences in the morphology
of these areas could be found. The annual food consumption was calculated to be 3.1×106 kg AFDW or 1.3 g AFDW×m−2×year−1, which is about 5% of the average biomass of macrozoobenthos. The increase in the number of eider has led to a significant
increase in total food consumption of carnivorous birds, which was estimated at 7.1×106 kg AFDW × year−1 in the seventies and now reaches 9.0×106 kg AFDW×year−1, of which the eider takes 34%. The reasons for and consequences of the increase of the eider are discussed in context with
the eutrophication of the North Sea and possible competition with shellfishery.

The influence of tricyclazole on the production of phenolic precursors, glucose uptake and production of fungal mass of Fonsecaea pedrosoi was assessed in the presence of phenylalanine, sodium nitrate and tryptophan. Photocolorimetry was used for the quantitation of glucose and total phenol, and the dry weight method for biomass. The glucose uptake with phenylalanine was 99.85×103 mg/ml; with tryptophan, 99.88×103 mg/ml and with sodium nitrate, 99.90×103 mg/ml. Production of biomass: with tryptophan, 2.7×10−1 mg; with sodium nitrate, 3.0×10−1 mg and with phenylalanine, 3.4×10−1 mg. Tricyclazole induced higher phenol accumulation, lower glucose uptake, inhibition of melanin deposition on the cell and higher production and higher biomass production in relation to glucose uptake for all nitrogen sources tested under these conditions. A negative correlation between biomass production and glucose uptake was observed in the presence of secondary metabolism. 相似文献

This paper studies the species composition and quantitative distribution of diatoms that belong to the genus Pseudo-nitzschia in the Russian waters of the Sea of Japan and the Sea of Okhotsk. In total, 11 species of this genus were found in the area, including 7 that are known as being potentially toxic. The highest concentrations of Pseudo-nitzschia microalgae (1.4 × 106–2.7 × 106 cells/L) were found in the summer and autumn in the Peter the Great Bay of the Sea of Japan and the lowest concentrations (2.5 × 102–1 × 104 cells/L) were found in the Sakhalinsky and Akademiya bays of the Sea of Okhotsk. The species diversity of potentially toxic diatoms was greatest (seven species) and the cell concentrations highest (over 6 × 105 cells/L) in the Peter the Great Bay, Sea of Japan, and in the Aniva Bay, Sea of Okhotsk. The density of potentially toxic species was highest near the northeastern coast of Sakhalin Island, in the Amur River estuary, and in adjacent waters. This paper also presents geographical distribution maps of Pseudo-nitzschia species and maps of the density distribution of potentially toxic microalgae over the studied area and identifies potential amnesic shellfish poisoning areas. 相似文献

Photosynthetic efficiency and seasonality of autotrophic picoplankton in Lago Maggiore after its recovery 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
1. Lago Maggiore is a deep subalpine lake that has regained its previous oligotrophic state during the last decade after going through a process of cultural eutrophication and subsequent restoration. Autotrophic picoplankton (APP) have been studied in Lago Maggiore since 1992, with the primary production of the fraction being measured in 1994 and 1995. In 1998, we began to study the population structure and photosynthetic characteristics of APP after the restoration of the lake. We also compared the seasonal dynamics of APP and nanoplankton biomass and production. In this paper, we show the trend of annual and interannual dynamics of APP from 1993 to 1998. 2. Since 1993 and 1994, APP have almost tripled in numbers (mean values: 1993=44 × 103 cell mL–1 1998=123 × 103 cell mL–1) and in production. On average, APP produced 16 gC m–2 year–1 in 1994 and 41.2 gC m–2 year–1 in 1998, accounting for 10 and 20%, respectively, of total phototrophic production. 3. Although nanoplankton dominated in terms of biomass and production in the first 6 months of the year, APP were able to compete successfully with them in periods of P limitation. In September 1998, APP carbon fixation actually surpassed that of nanoplankton, reaching 13 mgC m–3 h–1 at 3 m. In a comparison of the daily chlorophyll‐specific photosynthesis rates of nanoplankton and APP, the latter proved to be more efficient in fixing carbon, particularly in summer and autumn. 4. While the spatial distribution of APP abundance and production followed the isotherms of 18 and 20 °C, and was strictly related to water stratification and thermocline appearance, the APP efficiency [mgC (mg chl)–1Em–2] had its maximum at the bottom of the euphotic zone, with irradiance in the range 0.5–18 μE m–2 s–1. 5. The existence of a significant regression between APP abundance and carbon fixation (P < 0.001, r2=0.92, d.f.=17; APPprod=10.6 × 103 cell mL–1 + 15) enabled us to infer APP production from cell numbers, and supports the view that picocyanobacteria production is closely dependent on its standing crop. 6. Lago Maggiore is a good example of how APP in a stabilised oligotrophic system can, under favourable conditions, increase in numbers and effectively exploit the few available resources. We can conclude that the APP population reacts to the reduction in P‐levels, but only after several years of stable low nutrient conditions. 相似文献

Molecular biological methods were used to investigate the microbial diversity and community structure in intertidal sandy sediments near the island of Sylt (Wadden Sea) at a site which was characterized for transport and mineralization rates in a parallel study (D. de Beer, F. Wenzhöfer, T. Ferdelman, S.E. Boehme, M. Huettel, J.E.E. van Beusekom, M.E. Böttcher, N. Musat, N. Dubilier, Transport and mineralization rates in North Sea sandy intertidal sediments, Sylt-Romo Basin, Wadden Sea, Limnol. Oceanogr. 50 (2005) 113–127). Comparative 16S rRNA sequence analysis revealed a high bacterial diversity. Most sequences retrieved by PCR with a general bacterial primer set were affiliated with Bacteroidetes, Gammaproteobacteria, Deltaproteobacteria and the Pirellula cluster of Planctomycetales. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and slot-blot hybridization with group-specific rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes were used to characterize the microbial community structure over depth (0–12 cm) and seasons (March, July, October). We found high abundances of bacteria with total cell numbers up to 3×109 cells ml−1 and a clear seasonal variation, with higher values in July and October versus March. The microbial community was dominated by members of the Planctomycetes, the Cytophaga/Flavobacterium group, Gammaproteobacteria, and bacteria of the Desulfosarcina/Desulfococcus group. The high abundance (1.5×107–1.8×108 cells ml−1 accounting for 3–19% of all cells) of presumably aerobic heterotrophic polymer-degrading planctomycetes is in line with the high permeability, deep oxygen penetration, and the high rates of aerobic mineralization of algal biomass measured in the sandy sediments by de Beer et al. (2005). The high and stable abundance of members of the Desulfosarcina/Desulfococcus group, both over depth and season, suggests that these bacteria may play a more important role than previously assumed based on low sulfate reduction rates in parallel cores (de Beer et al., 2005). 相似文献

The present investigation was aimed towards analyzing the potential of consortia of native filamentous microalgal strains (MC2), native unicellular microalgal strains (MC3), and selected microalgae from germplasm (MC1) in terms of nutrient removal, water quality improvement, and biomass production using primary treated sewage water. Highest NO3-N (90 %) and PO4-P (97.8 %) removal was obtained with MC2-inoculated sewage water. Highest decrease in total dissolved solids to 806 from 1,120 mg L?1 and highest increase in dissolved oxygen of 9.0 from 0.4 mg L?1 were obtained using MC2-inoculated sewage water on the sixth day. The biomass production was also highest in MC2 (1.07 g L?1) followed by MC1 and MC3 (0.90 and 0.94 g L?1, respectively) on the sixth day. The consortium of filamentous strains from native environment not only proved promising in nutrient removal efficiency but also led to enhanced biomass. The present study highlighted the utility of such a consortium for sewage wastewater treatment and the promise of sewage water as a growth medium for biomass production. 相似文献

The structure and production characteristics of microbial communities from the Urinskii alkaline hot spring (Buryat Republic, Russia) have been investigated. A distinctive characteristic of this hot spring is the lack of sulfide in the issuing water. The water temperature near the spring vents ranged from 69 to 38.5°C and pH values ranged from 8.8 to 9.2. The total mineralization of water was less than 0.1 g/liter. Temperature has a profound effect on the species composition and biogeochemical processes occurring in the algal-bacterial mats of the Urinskii hot spring. The maximum diversity of the phototrophic community was observed at the temperatures 40 and 46°C. A total of 12 species of cyanobacteria, 4 species of diatoms, and one species of thermophilic anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria, Chloroflexus aurantiacus, have been isolated from mat samples. At temperatures above 40°C, the filamentous cyanobacterium Phormidium laminosum was predominant; its cell number and biomass concentration comprised 95.1 and 63.9%, respectively. At lower temperatures, the biomass concentrations of the cyanobacterium Oscillatoria limosa and diatoms increased (50.2 and 36.4%, respectively). The cyanobacterium Mastigocladus laminosus, which is normally found in neutral or slightly acidic hydrothermal systems, was detected in microbial communities. As the diatom concentration increases, so does the dry matter concentration in mats, while the content of organic matter decreases. The concentrations of proteins and carbohydrates reached their maximum levels at 45–50°C. The maximum average rate of oxygenic photosynthesis [2.1 g C/(m2 day)], chlorophyll a content (343.4 mg/m2), and cell number of phototrophic microorganisms were observed at temperatures from 45 to 50°C. The peak mass of bacterial mats (56.75 g/m2) occurred at a temperature of 65–60°C. The maximum biomass concentration of phototrophs (414.63 × 10?6 g/ml) and the peak rate of anoxygenic photosynthesis [0.42 g C/(m2 day)] were observed at a temperature of 35–40°C. 相似文献

Abstract
To investigate whether landfill leachates affected the microbial biomass and/or community composition of the extant microbiota,
37 samples were collected along a 305-m transect of a shallow landfill-leachate polluted aquifer. The samples were analyzed
for total numbers of bacteria by use of the acridine orange direct count method (AODC). Numbers of dominant, specific groups
of bacteria and total numbers of protozoa were measured by use of the most probable number method (MPN). Viable biomass estimates
were obtained from measures of ATP and ester-linked phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) concentrations. The estimated numbers of
total bacteria by direct counts were relatively constant throughout the aquifer, ranging from a low of 4.8 × 106 cells/g dry weight (dw) to a high of 5.3 × 107 cells/g dw. Viable biomass estimates based on PLFA concentrations were one to three orders of magnitude lower with the greatest
concentrations (up to 4 × 105 cells/g dw) occurring at the border of the landfill and in samples collected from thin lenses of clay and silt with sand
streaks. Cell number estimates based on ATP concentrations were also found to be lower than the direct count measurements
(<2.2 × 106 cells/g dw), and with the greatest concentrations close to the landfill. Methanogens (Archaea) and reducers of sulfate, iron,
manganese, and nitrate were all observed in the aquifer. Methanogens were found to be restricted to the most polluted and
reduced part of the aquifer at a maximum cell number of 5.4 × 104 cells/g dw. Populations of sulfate reducers decreased with an increase in horizontal distance from the landfill ranging from
a high of 9.0 × 103 cells/g dw to a low of 6 cells/g dw. Iron, manganese, and nitrate reducers were detected throughout the leachate plume all
at maximum cell numbers of 106 cells/g dw. Changes in PLFA profiles indicated that a shift in microbial community composition occurred with increasing horizontal
distance from the landfill. The types and patterns of lipid biomarkers suggested that increased proportions of sulfate- and
iron-reducing bacteria as well as certain microeukaryotes existed at the border of the landfill. The presence of these lipid
biomarkers correlated with the MPN results. There was, however, no significant correlation between the abundances of the specific
PLFA biomarkers and quantitative measurements of redox processes. The application of AODC, MPN, PLFA, and ATP analyses in
the characterization of the extant microbiota within the Grindsted aquifer revealed that as distance increased from the leachate
source, viable biomass decreased and community composition shifted. These results led to the conclusion that the landfill
leachate induced an increase in microbial cell numbers by altering the subsurface aquifer so that it was conducive to the
growth of methanogens and of iron-and sulfate-reducing bacteria and fungi.

The work presents the results of investigation of microbial and biogeochemical processes at the water-sediment interface in the samples of three Caspian Sea profiles obtained during the 39th cruise of RV “Rift” in May–June 2012. The decrease in suspended Corg content from the surface to the bottom resulted from the activity of aerobic heterotrophic microorganisms. Autotrophic methanogenesis occurred in anoxic water of deep-sea depressions, where methane concentrations were up to 2.2–3.75 μL CH4 L?1, which was an order of magnitude higher than in the aerobic water column (0.04–0.32 μL CH4 L?1). Methanogenesis was accompanied by a considerable decrease in δ13C of suspended Corg (?26 to ?30‰). The numbers of microbial cells in the water column varied from 40 to 3200 × 103 cells mL?1. The results of microbiological and biogeochemical investigation demonstrated that, in spite of the absence of connection with the ocean and other specific features, the Caspian Sea has the characteristics of a typical marine basin. 相似文献

Population density and biomass of bacteria and meiofauna were investigated seasonally in the sediments of the north-western bank of Red Sea. Samples of sediments were collected seasonally from three different stations to determine microphytobenthic biomass (chlorophyll a), protein, lipid, carbohydrate, and total organic matter concentrations. These investigations revealed that microbial components tended to increase their dominancy, whereas sensitive meiofauna were extremely reduced during the entire study period. Thus a very low density of the total meiofauna (with an annual average of 109 ± 26 ind./10 cm2) was recorded whilst the benthic microbial population densities exhibited higher values (ranging from 0.31 ± 0.02 × 108 to 43.67 ± 18.62 × 108/g dry sediment). These changes in the relative importance analysis of benthic microbial components versus meiofaunal ones seem to be based on the impact of organic matter accumulation on the function and structure of these benthic communities. Proteins, lipids and carbohydrates showed very low concentration values, and the organic matter mostly consisted of carbohydrates, reflecting lower nutritional values for benthic fauna in general and meiofauna in particular. The distribution of microbial and meiofaunal communities seems to be dependent on the quality of the organic matter rather than on its quantity. Total organic matter concentrations varied between 5.8 and 7.6 mg/g, with organic carbon accounting for only 32% of the total organic matter. Chlorophyll a attained very low values, fluctuating between 0.11 and 0.56 μg/g, indicating the oligotrophy of the studied area. The very low concentration of chlorophyll a in the Red Sea sediment suggests that the sedimentary organic matter, heterotrophic bacteria and/or protozoa constitute an alternative resource that is consumed by meiofauna when algae are less abundant. Protozoa, therefore, represent the “missing link in bacteria–meiofauna interaction in the Red Sea marine sediment ecosystem. 相似文献

Abundance and seasonal trophodynamics (specific growth rate, daily production, and grazing mortality) of the major picophytoplankton components, Synechococcus cyanobacteria (Syn) and picoeukaryotes (Pico-E), were studied at three stations in Sevastopol Bay and adjacent coastal waters (the Black Sea) in 2014 by flow cytometry and the dilution method. Pico-E abundance was shown to increase along the nutrient and pollution gradient from the coastal waters outside the bay (annual average of 7.3 ± 5.4 × 103 cells mL–1) to the eastern corner of the bay (28.7 ± 11.4 × 103 cells mL–1), while no relation was found between the water pollution status and Syn abundance (9.9 ± 8.7 × 103 cells mL–1; at all the stations, n = 27). Matter flows through the communities (daily production for Syn and Pico-E 0–16.6 and 0–19.3 µg C L–1 day–1, respectively; grazing mortality for Syn and PicoE 0–3.6 and 0–21.2 µg C L–1 day–1, respectively) were comparable to or even exceeded their biomass stocks (>0.05–6.8 and 0.9–26.5 µg C L–1 for Syn and PicoE, respectively), indicating high biomass turnover rates. The highest flow-to-stock ratio (up to 6 for Syn) and a significant imbalance between daily production (P) and grazing mortality (G) were observed in the most polluted and eutrophic waters of the bay in spring (Pico-E: P/G < 1) and late summer (Syn: P/G > 1). Black River inflow to the bay was hypothesized to be among the mechanisms maintaining this pronounced and long-term imbalance in the open system without any negative consequences for the picophytoplankton assemblages. 相似文献

Although winter conditions play a major role in determining the productivity of the western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) waters for the following spring and summer, a few studies have dealt with the seasonal variability of microorganisms in the WAP in winter. Moreover, because of regional warming, sea-ice retreat is happening earlier in spring, at the onset of the production season. In this context, this study describes the dynamics of the marine microbial community in the Melchior Archipelago (WAP) from fall to spring 2006. Samples were collected monthly to biweekly at four depths from the surface to the aphotic layer. The abundance and carbon content of bacteria, phytoplankton and microzooplankton were analyzed using flow cytometry and inverted microscopy, and bacterial richness was examined by PCR–DGGE. As expected, due to the extreme environmental conditions, the microbial community abundance and biomass were low in fall and winter. Bacterial abundance ranged from 1.2 to 2.8 × 105 cells ml?1 showing a slight increase in spring. Phytoplankton biomass was low and dominated by small cells (<2 μm) in fall and winter (average chlorophyll a concentration, Chl-a, of, respectively, 0.3 and 0.13 μg l?1). Phytoplankton biomass increased in spring (Chl-a up to 1.13 μg l?1), and, despite potentially adequate growth conditions, this rise was small and phytoplankton was still dominated by small cells (2–20 μm). In addition, the early disappearing of sea-ice in spring 2006 let the surface water exposed to ultraviolet B radiations (UVBR, 280–320 nm), which seemed to have a negative impact on the microbial community in surface waters. 相似文献

The results of year-round studies of the photosynthesis and respiration rates of the eel grass Zostera marina L. in the White Sea are presented. The annual production of eel grass is estimated to be 9.86 × 1011 kcal. It is concluded that the total annual production of the eel grass constitutes about 3% of the annual phytoplankton
production (3 × 1013 kcal; according to the data of Bobrov et al., 1995) in the White Sea. 相似文献

Desalinated seawater is used to satisfy domestic water demands in many countries. The treated freshwater is blended with desalinated water to increase the water supply. The desalinated and blended water contains disinfection byproducts (DBPs), some of which may induce cancer risk to human. In this study, concentrations of trihalomethanes (THMs) in desalinated and blended water in Saudi Arabia were investigated, and human exposure and risk were predicted. The intakes of THMs (chloroform, bromodichloromethane, dibromochloromethane, and bromoform) were predicted to be 8.38 × 10?5, 7.57 × 10?5, 2.54 × 10?5, and 4.32 × 10?4 mg/kg-d, respectively. The overall cancer risk and hazard index were estimated to be 1.78 × 10?5 (range: 7.40 × 10?7–9.26 × 10?5) and 3.49 × 10?2 (range: 1.20 × 10?3–2.34 × 10?1), respectively. The probabilities of cancer risk exceeding the risk levels of 1 × 10?6, 1 × 10?5, and 5.0 × 10?5 were 1.0, 0.775, and 0.012, respectively. The loss of disability adjusted life years (DALYs) was predicted to be 25.1 per year while the cancer risk represented 8.48 × 10?7 DALY per person per year. The financial burden from such risk was estimated to be US$ 2.72 (range: US$ 2.52–2.91) million per year. The findings may assist in better understanding and reducing cancer risk from DBPs in desalinated and blended water. 相似文献

Plankton dynamics in the marginal ice zone of the central Barents Sea during spring: carbon flow and structure of the grazer food chain 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Plankton community structure was analysed during spring at four stations along a transect from the polar ice into open waters of the Barents Sea. The transect mimicks a time span of months in the biological succession during the Arctic summer. The significance of the microbial food web vs the more classical food web was evaluated using carbon budget models. The standing stocks of diatom-dominated phytoplankton and bacteria were generally high especially in connection to ice. The biomass of microzooplankton, dominated by heterotrophic dinoflagellates was significantly high, with specific growth rates following the in situ temperature. The mean ± SE specific growth rate was 0.40±0.12 d?1 for ciliates and 0.24 ± 0.05 d?1 for heterotrophic dinoflagellates, indicating no food limitation. The estimated total carbon requirement for microzooplankton was, at the ice-covered station, approximately 100% of the daily primary production, decreasing to 25% in the open water. Carbon-specific secondary production of the copepodsCalanus finmarchicus (Gunnerus),C. glacialis (Jaschnov),C. hyperboreus (Krøyer) andMetridia longa (Lubbock) were analysed by egg production.C. finmarchicus andM. longa were productive at all stations, including the ice-covered locations, with a maximum at 0.08 d?1 and 0.035 d?1, respectively. The other, more Arctic-related,Calanus spp. were virtually outspawned. The standing stock of copepods was only 10–20% of the total microbial grazer biomass. The community growth and grazing by copepods showed significantly less quantitative importance for the pelagic carbon flow than the microbial processes. 相似文献
