A new record of Percursaria percursa (Ulvaceae, Ulvales) on the North Island, New Zealand
The filamentous green alga Percursaria percursa (Ulvaceae, Ulvales) was recorded for the first time on the North Island of New Zealand at Ōmokoroa Estuary, Tauranga Harbour. This species is previously known within New Zealand from only two records, both from the South Island. In Tauranga Harbour, this species was restricted to anoxic estuarine sediments where mangrove forests had been mulched, ...
متن کاملSome Field Techniques Used in a Study of Tauranga Harbour
A summary of the main field methods of research used in a sedimentological study of part of Tauranga Harbour is presented. The research concentrated on the tidal inlet which is the entrance to the Port of Tauranga. SCUBA divers have carried out direct observations of the sea bed and installed various monitoring devices. Sediment sampling programmes posed problems which were largely overcome by ...
متن کاملMicrozooplankton grazing of phytoplankton in Manukau Harbour, New Zealand
Grazing by microzooplankton on phytoplankton in Manukau Harbour was measured by size-fractionated dilution experiments at monthly intervals from October 1994 to October 1995. Grazing rates were always highest on the < 5 urn size fraction, the smallest size fraction measured. These rates ranged from 0.3 to 1.3 d" and were highest in November and March; values did not appear to vary with grazer a...
متن کاملInfluence of the benthos on growth of planktonic estuarine bacteria
Estuarine planktonic bacteria were incubated (bacterial bioassays) in water previously held in close contact with benthic sediments to assess the potential importance of benthic dissolved organic matter for planktonic bacterial production. The study was conducted using water and sediments collected from along a fresh to salt water gradient in the Parker River and Plum Island Sound Estuary in no...
متن کاملInfluence of an estuarine plume and marine sewage outfall on the dynamics of coastal bacterioplankton communities
Marine bacterioplankton in the coastal region off Aveiro (NW Portugal) develop under the influence of the plume of a mesotrophic estuarine system (Ria de Aveiro) and, more recently, under the influence of the discharges of a marine sewage outfall (S. Jacinto). In an attempt to compare the degree of disturbance introduced by these 2 features to the abundance of sewage bacteria and heterotrophic ...
