Composition and abundance of phytoplankton in the Baidarata Inlet of the Kara Sea in summer and autumn

Composition and abundance of phytoplankton in the Baidarata Inlet of the Kara Sea in summer and... The species composition and abundance of phytoplankton were determined in the Baidarata Inlet (Kara Sea) in August 2005 and July and September–October 2007. A total number of 220 species were found. In the surface layer, phytoplankton biomass ranged from 1.5 to 15.4 mg C/m3 (mean 5.7 ± 3.0 mg C/m3) in July, from 1.2 to 11.8 mg C/m3 (mean 5.2 ± 2.8 mg C/m3) in August, and from 4.4 to 22.6 mg C/m3 (mean 12.8 ± 5.6 mg C/m3) in September-October. In July at different sampling sites, the biomass was dominated by dinoflagellates, diatoms, and chrysophycean. Dinoflagellates dominated at almost all stations in August. Diatoms dominated in autumn with the most abundant species Paralia sulcata. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Moscow University Biological Sciences Bulletin Springer Journals

Abstract

The species composition and abundance of phytoplankton were determined in the Baidarata Inlet (Kara Sea) in August 2005 and July and September–October 2007. A total number of 220 species were found. In the surface layer, phytoplankton biomass ranged from 1.5 to 15.4 mg C/m3 (mean 5.7 ± 3.0 mg C/m3) in July, from 1.2 to 11.8 mg C/m3 (mean 5.2 ± 2.8 mg C/m3) in August, and from 4.4 to 22.6 mg C/m3 (mean 12.8 ± 5.6 mg C/m3) in September-October. In July at different sampling sites, the biomass was dominated by dinoflagellates, diatoms, and chrysophycean. Dinoflagellates dominated at almost all stations in August. Diatoms dominated in autumn with the most abundant species Paralia sulcata.
