Spatiotemporal dynamics of carbon isotope ratios and phytoplankton composition in the eastern Arabian Sea
This study investigated major contributors of the particulate organic matter (POM) using stable isotope ratios of particulate organic carbon (δ13CPOC) and its relationship with phytoplankton composition during three seasons across six coast-offshore transects in the eastern Arabian Sea (EAS). Results revealed significant spatiotemporal variations, with elevated δ13CPOC in coastal waters during the winter and summer monsoon (−22.40 ± 1.76‰), linked to increased phytoplankton biomass (2.26 ± 2.21 μg l−1) and dominance of diatoms (micro-phytoplankton) (65.35 ± 30.98%). In contrast, lower δ13CPOC during the spring inter monsoon (SIM) and in offshore waters during WM and SM (−23.31 ± 1.32‰) were associated with cyanobacteria (pico-phytoplankton) dominance (78.27 ± 22.75%). Positive correlations of POC with Chlorophyll a (Chla) and particulate nitrogen (PN) (r > 0.5, p < 0.05), along with their ratios (POC:Chla < 200 and POC:PN < 12), indicated the autochthonous nature of POM. Distinct δ13CPOC ranges were identified based on phytoplankton composition; diatoms (micro-phytoplankton) dominated waters exhibited δ13CPOC values between −23.83 and −19.19‰, while nano and/or pico-phytoplankton dominated showed values ranging from −26.00 to −22.15‰. This study highlights spatiotemporal variability in the POM composition and emphasises the importance of δ13CPOC in understanding its relationship with phytoplankton composition. Baseline information on δ13CPOC will aid in developing stable isotope isoscapes of the EAS, enhancing our understanding of trophodynamics and animal migratory patterns.
期刊介绍:
Marine Pollution Bulletin is concerned with the rational use of maritime and marine resources in estuaries, the seas and oceans, as well as with documenting marine pollution and introducing new forms of measurement and analysis. A wide range of topics are discussed as news, comment, reviews and research reports, not only on effluent disposal and pollution control, but also on the management, economic aspects and protection of the marine environment in general.
