Phytoplankton Studies Within the Virginia Barrier Islands. III. Phytoplankton Composition in a Saline Pond on Smith Island
نویسنده
چکیده
The phytoplankton that characterized the Smith Island pond was diverse, with several species of diatoms, dinoflagellates, and bluegreen algae dominant throughout the year. A tota� of 146 species were noted, predominantly com posed of ultra and nanoplankters, that includes representatives from coastal waters. The island ponds are considered eutrophic habitats whose composition is influenced by overwash conditions and in turn introduce populations to sur rounding pools and water channels.

The phytoplankton of Goose Lake, an oligohaline lake on Parramore Island, was studied for one year. The populations consisted primarily of ultra plankton and nanoplankton sized forms with diatoms and chiorophyceans dominant most of the year. A general pattern of seasonally higher cell concentrations in early summer and fall was noted, with an unidentified ultra plankton sized component prominen...

متن کاملNear-island biological hotspots in barren ocean basins.
Phytoplankton production drives marine ecosystem trophic-structure and global fisheries yields. Phytoplankton biomass is particularly influential near coral reef islands and atolls that span the oligotrophic tropical oceans. The paradoxical enhancement in phytoplankton near an island-reef ecosystem--Island Mass Effect (IME)--was first documented 60 years ago, yet much remains unknown about the ...
