Standing stock and dynamics of picophytoplankton in the Thau Lagoon (northwest Mediterranean coast)

Abstract: Eucaryotic picophytoplankton (PEUC), picocyanobacteria, and larger phytoplanktonic cells from the Thau Lagoon (northwest Mediterranean coast) were numbered by flow cytometry from November 1991 to February 1994. PEUC cells dominated the phytoplanktonic assemblage and exhibited seasonal dynamics. Monthly mean abundances of larger phytoplanktonic cell and PEUC were significantly correlated with temperature and solar irradiance values, with the highest correlations having been obtained for PEUC abundances.

“…The larger sized chromophytic rbcL mRNA values found here were presumably caused by diatoms, which are abundant in these waters. A similar size distribution of autotrophs was found in the Thau Lagoon in the Mediterranean (Vaquer et al 1996) and in coastal Gulf of Mexico waters under the influence of the Tampa Bay plume (Pichard et al 1997a). In the latter environment, 43% of the carbon fixation was associated with particles Ͻ1 m in size, with 25 and 31% associated with particles Ͼ5 and 1-5 m, respectively.…”

“…In seasons other than mid-summer, picoeukaryotes are probably essential components of the community in the study area. The importance of picoeukaryotes has been demonstrated in various studies of coastal waters (Vaquer et al 1996, Bec et al 2005, Worden et al 2004.…”
