Phytoplankton growth and microzooplankton grazing in the Homa Lagoon (İzmir Bay, Turkey)
Phytoplankton growth and microzooplankton grazing were investigated at one station in the Homa Lagoon from February to January in 2006-2007. Our results showed significant seasonal variations in phytoplankton dynamics. Microzooplankton was mainly composed of dinoflagellates and tintinnid ciliates and nauplii. Microzooplankton grazing increased with increasing of temperature. Grazing ra...
متن کاملPigment-specific rates of phytoplankton growth and microzooplankton grazing in the open subarctic Pacific Ocean
A long-standing hypothesis states that low year-round phytoplankton biomass in the open subarctic Pacific Ocean is maintained by herbivorous grazing. To evaluate the balance between phytoplankton growth and microzooplankton grazing, we carried out seawater dilution experiments at two subarctic Pacific locations in June and September 1987. Pigment-specific phytoplankton growth and grazing rates ...
متن کاملPhytoplankton Growth and Microzooplankton Grazing in the Subtropical Northeast Atlantic
Dilution experiments were performed to estimate phytoplankton growth and microzooplankton grazing rates during two Lagrangian surveys in inner and eastern locations of the Eastern North Atlantic Subtropical Gyre province (NAST-E). Our design included two phytoplankton size fractions (0.2-5 µm and >5 µm) and five depths, allowing us to characterize differences in growth and grazing rates between...

متن کاملPhytoplankton growth, microzooplankton grazing, and carbon cycling in marine systems
We present an analysis of the global impact of microplanktonic grazers on marine phytoplankton and its implications for remineralization processes in the microbial community. The data were obtained by an extensive literature search that yielded 788 paired rate estimates of autotrophic growth (m) and microzooplankton grazing (m) from dilution experiments. From studies in which phytoplankton stan...
