Temporal and spatial fluctuations of phytoplankton in a tropical coastal lagoon, southeast Brazil

Abstract: Spatial and temporal variability of the phytoplankton community in the tropical coastal Imboassica lagoon, an environment naturally isolated from the ocean by a narrow sandbar, was analysed every two weeks for 19 months by sampling three sites. During this study, the lagoon received direct input of marine water three times, resulting in remarkable salinity, nutrient concentrations and phytoplankton biomass variations in both temporal and spatial aspects. The phytoplankton biomass presented relatively low value… Show more

“…At the same time salinity influenced the nutrient uptake by the phytoplanktons for their growth (Marcarelli et al 2006). Moreover, different phytoplankton species would have preference to different nutrient amount at different salinity (Ganguly et al 2013;Melo et al 2007). In a coastal power station in the north part of the Malacca Straits, the salinity combined with other factors to correlate positively with the phytoplankton abundance (Muhammad Adlan et al 2012).…”

“…The authors suggested that the dominance of the species might be favoured by swimming velocity and displacement amplitude towards the bottom for nutrient uptake, demonstrated by the positive relation with water transparency. Melo et al (2007) studied the temporal and spatial fluctuations of phytoplankton in a tropical coastal lagoon in southeastern Brazil (Imboassica Lagoon, Rio de JaneiroBrazil). They observed that high fluctuations on salinity and nutrient availability were the main factors that control the dynamics of A. sanguinea and the entire phytoplankton community.…”

“…As florações recorrentes da rafidofícea Heterosigma akashiwo, com os mais altos valores de densidade, assim como as demais espécies de microalgas formadoras de florações encontradas no ambiente estudado, têm sido registradas para outros sistemas de águas costeiras temperadas e tropicais (Orive et al 1997, Trigueros & Orive 2001, Uysal et al 2003, Toming 2006, Melo et al 2007, Kemptom et al 2008. Elevadas abundâncias de Cyclotella chocktawhatcheeana têm sido relacionadas ao enriquecimento de águas pela entrada de nutrientes por ações antrópicas em sistemas costeiros salobros temperados durante o verão e a primavera (Tiffany et al 2007, Jaanus et al 2009).…”

“…Em ambientes tropicais, essa espécie tem sido registrada para lagos desde oligohalinos a hipersalinos localizados no México (Oliva et al 2008). Para o Brasil, Cyclotella chocktawhatcheeana foi reportada por Lima (2004) para a Lagoa Encantada (hipersalina) e por Melo et al (2006Melo et al ( , 2007 para a Lagoa Imboassica (oligo-mesohalina), ambas localizadas no litoral nordeste do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. No primeiro caso, Cyclotella chocktawhatcheeana atingiu 50% do total da densidade fitoplanctônica, enquanto no segundo, contribuiu com mais de 90% para a densidade fitoplanctônica total.…”
