“…Similarly, many studies have found that Ulva sp. biomass peaked in spring and summer (Ferreira and Ramos, 1989;Solidoro et al, 1997;Plus et al, 2005). Zhuang and Chen (2003) found similar summer peaks in Moon Bay, near Fisherman's Wharf, on the Yantai coast.…”

To explore the impact of environmental variables on macroalgal communities, their temporal and spatial distributions were examined along the Yantai coast, China between April 2010 and March 2011. Macroalgae sampling was conducted monthly at four sites along the coast: Jiahe River estuary, Zhifu Island, Fisherman's Wharf, and Yangma Island. The species composition and abundance, and their relationship with environmental variables were assessed. Along the Yantai coast, 35 macroalgae species were identifi ed, including 24 Rhodophyta spp., 7 Chlorophyta, and 4 Phaeophyta spp. Highest species numbers were recorded in the summer at all sampling sites, except in the Jiahe River estuary. Macroalgae biomass was the greatest in the summer. Year-round, the highest species number and dry biomass recorded at Fisherman's Wharf and Yangma Island was attributed to the substrate type. In summer, Ulva pertusa Kjellman was the dominant species identifi ed along the Yantai coast, which indicates a risk of macroalgae blooms. Our results show that seawater temperature and nutrients appear to signifi cantly affect the temporal and spatial patterns of macroalgal abundance along the Yantai coast. The effects of environmental variables on the macroalgae on the Yantai coast need further study.

“…The model is kept as simple as possible, but it simulates the essential features of the seasonal cycles of nitrogen, phosphorus and dissolved oxygen. TDM has been used for many process studies (Solidoro et al 1997, Dejak et al 1998 and applications (Pastres et al 2001 and reproduces the observed timing and magnitude of phytoplankton evolution, spatio-temporal patterns and gradients of nutrient concentrations . The model includes a heat flux module (Dejak et al 1992) for the computation of water temperature and a bio-optical module (Solidoro et al 1995) for light extinction along the water column.…”

A downscaling experiment linking a regional atmospheric model to local ecosystem and target species population dynamics models was conducted to evaluate the effects of IPCC climate change scenarios on a temperate coastal lagoon ecosystem, the lagoon of Venice (Italy), along with goods and services provided by this ecosystem. Our results indicate that the changes in water temperature and reduction in plankton productivity caused by the modification of seasonal precipitation patterns will affect habitat suitability for clam growth and aquaculture. Simulations show that aquaculture, which has substantial economic value, will suffer, and they highlight the need for management policies to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change. Extrapolation of these conclusions to other coastal systems might be particularly relevant for socio-economic systems in which clam farming is crucial for a self-sustaining economy.
