Plankton distribution and ocean dispersal

Abstract: SummaryPlankton are small organisms that dwell in oceans, seas and bodies of fresh water. In this review, we discuss life in the plankton, which involves a balance between the behavioral capabilities of the organism and the characteristics and movement of the water that surrounds it. In order to consider this balance, we discuss how plankton interact with their environment across a range of scales -from the smallest viruses and bacteria to larger phytoplankton and zooplankton. We find that the larger scale dis… Show more

“…Results showed two categories of plankton, the phytoplankton and the zooplankton classified taxonomically using references (Somshekar, Dhargalkar, & Karlekan, 2004;Perry, 2003;Hauser & Dudiak, 1981). The phytoplankton is usually found on surface water (Petitgas et al, 2006) with sufficient sunlight for photosynthesis (McManus & Woodson, 2012). This group includes the diatoms and dinoflagellates as shown in the results of this study with 13 species of diatoms and seven species of dinoflagellates.…”

“…The effect of population size is on primary production (Petitgas et al, 2006) since the phytoplankton SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF MARINE PLANKTONS OFF THE COAST OF SITRA 355 is considered the producer (McManus & Woodson, 2012) of the marine ecosystems which inhabit the illuminated (Aleksandrov et al, 2009) part of the sea water. Dinoflagellates are also considered common coastal plankton (Somshekar et al, 2004).…”

“…Oceanic currents are highly variable in space and time , and it is unlikely larvae would experience a "typical" unidirectional current for more than a few days (Sponaugle et al, 2002;Wing et al, 2003). Larvae are often aggregated near clines and fronts and display highly structured nonuniform distributions (Le Fèvre, 1986;McManus and Woodson, 2012). In contrast, some form of directed swimming may be maintained, however, for most, if not all, of their PLD.…”
