The microphytoplankton were comprised mostly of diatoms (0–542 cells L−1, ~4 × 106–44 × 106 cells m−2) of the genera Rhizosolenia, Thalassionema, Chaetoceros, Leptocylindrus and Pseudo-nitzschia, and dinoflagellates (1–89 cells L−1, ~1 × 106–10 × 106 cells m−2) of the genera Tripos (formally known as Ceratium), Ornithocercus, Protoperidinium, Ceratocorys and Dinophysis. During the winter mixing, microphytoplankton abundance was ~2-fold higher than during the stratified summer months, in accordance with the higher inorganic nutrient levels. Diatoms were mostly found in the upper illuminated layers (0–100 m), while dinoflagellate distribution was patchy and spread from surface down to 200 m. We also calculated that diatoms and dinoflagellates contribute negligibly (~4%) to the total vertical carbon flux in the offshore water, suggesting fast recycling of organic matter at the photic layer. Our results provide a baseline to better understand carbon and biogenic silica fluxes at the LNLC SE Mediterranean Sea.","PeriodicalId":16800,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plankton Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42003517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cell growth was highest under conditions of 25–28°C, salinity 10–20 and high light, which represented the preferred physical niche for bloom formation in the present day. In the Chesapeake Bay, blooms generally occur at 25–29°C and salinity 10–14, while low-biomass occurrences have been found at salinities 15–29, consistent with the laboratory findings. High light increased the thermal sensitivity of K. veneficum and lowered the thermal optima for growth. Under conditions of low light, and salinity 10–20, cells exhibited the highest thermal optima for growth. The highest upper thermal maxima were observed at salinity 30, suggesting that cells in the lower estuary would be more thermally resistant than those in upper and mid-estuarine regions, and therefore these higher salinity regions may provide over-summering habitats for K. veneficum. Cellular C and N were highly varied at the preferred salinity and temperature niche and C:N ratios showed decreasing trends with temperature.","PeriodicalId":16800,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plankton Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43448928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gas vesicles (GVs) are an important trigger for the occurrence of Microcystis blooms. To understand the effects of light and nutrients on GV content, the phytoplankton in Lake Erhai were investigated. The results showed that the average GV content in the surface water was higher than that in the deep water. The total nitrogen in water affected the GV content by limiting the protein content, and the content of GVs increased by 9.2 μm3/cell for each 1.0 pg/cell increase in the intracellular nitrogen content. Moreover, light and total phosphorus affected the GV content in deep water by limiting the energy supply, and the content of GVs increased by 52.4 μm3/cell for each 1.0 pg/cell increase in the intracellular phosphorus content. These results indicate that for lakes with low transparency, decreasing the total phosphorus concentration can reduce the GV content. Reducing the total nitrogen concentration can reduce the GV content and decrease the dominance of Microcystis in all lakes. This study provides useful information for the control of Microcystis.","PeriodicalId":16800,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plankton Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42621813","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The stable isotope ratio (δ15N) was also measured for each species. In total 10 amphipod species were identified in total, and their community structures were separated into four groups. The four communities were characterized by the upper-layer community dominated by Themisto pacifica, and the deep-water community that was characterized by the absence of T. pacifica. The other two groups were observed for the intermediate depths at night only, which was characterized by the low abundance of T. pacifica performing diel vertical migration from those depths. The deep-dwelling species displayed higher δ15N and positive relationships were detected with the habitat depth of each species. For the predominant T. pacifica, population structure (cohort) analysis was possible based on equivalent spherical diameter data from ZooScan.

In Southeast Asia, green Noctiluca has a northern boundary of distribution in the Luzon Strait and the Vietnamese coast, approximately corresponding to the 25°C isotherm. We examined whether this boundary arose from the growth dependence of Noctiluca on temperature and/or that of P. noctilucae. We analyzed the effect of temperature on growth by examining one and four unialgal cultures of red and green Noctiluca, respectively, and two monocultures of the endosymbiont. Growth dependence on temperature was markedly different between host cells of green Noctiluca and monocultures of the endosymbiont, although some variations in growing temperature were observed among strains of both Noctiluca and the endosymbiont. Green Noctiluca grew at a temperature range of 20–31°C, whereas P. noctilucae did not grow at low temperatures ≤25°C. Growth rates of green Noctiluca were considerably higher when fed compared to monocultures. Our findings demonstrate that the effect of temperature on P. noctilucae growth is a crucial factor controlling the geographical distribution of green Noctiluca in the South China Sea. An implication of this finding is discussed in the context of global warming.","PeriodicalId":16800,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plankton Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41429390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
