Distribution and abundance of the phytoplankton in Todos Santos Bay (May, 1983)

From 20 to 22 May, 1983, 32 stations were sampled in Todos Santos Bay at three depths (surface, 20 and 30 m) in order to determine the distribution and abundance of the  phyto­plankton. The distribution of the total phytoplankton was patchy with different abundance values: maximum values close to th...

Opis
Izvleček:From 20 to 22 May, 1983, 32 stations were sampled in Todos Santos Bay at three depths (surface, 20 and 30 m) in order to determine the distribution and abundance of the  phyto­plankton. The distribution of the total phytoplankton was patchy with different abundance values: maximum values close to the coast and minimum values in the centre of the bay. By major taxa, the dinoflagellates had a density higher than 50% of the organisms in 60% of the samples. This was probably due to the fact that northward currents during the El Niño phenomenon carry typical tropical communities and/or to the succession of the phytoplanktonic species.
