A microcosm approach on the potential effects of the vertical mixing of water masses over the primary productivity and phytoplankton biomass in the southern Brazilian coastal region

Abstract: The vertical mixing between South Atlantic Central Water (SACW) and Coastal Water (CW) was simulated through microcosm experiments using the autochthonous phytoplankton community (fraction < 150 mm), without nutrient enrichments. SACW is cold (T< 18°C) and nutrient rich, while CW is warmer (T> 20°C) and oligotrophic. The phytoplankton growth potential of SACW, CW and an equivalent mixture of both (SACW+CW) was compared, under 100, 30 and 10% of sunlight, at surface seawater temperature, in winter and summer co… Show more

“…The strong association between SACW and mesozooplankton biomass confirm the importance of these intrusions to enhance local productivity (Metzler et al 1997, Saldanha-Corrêa andGianesella 2004), especially of herbivorous mesozooplankton (Guenther et al 2008), since we found typically herbivorous groups associated to intrusions (e.g. calanoids, including Temora spp.…”

“…The higher intercepts are consistent with the evidence of increasing productivity during SACW intrusions (see section 3.5.1). Saldanha-corrêa et al (2004) also argue that the SACW acts as a natural eutrophication agent promoting the development of the autochthonous phytoplankton community. In addition, the steeper NBSS slopes could also be an indicative of higher productivity (Zhou et al 2009), although this association can be controversial (Chapter 2, section 2.5.4).…”

“…Parece existir um aporte que pode ser considerado constante de material de origem pelágica, tanto fito-como zooplanctônico, que chega ao sedimento já parcialmente retrabalhado na coluna d'água. Além disso, este é provavelmente rapidamente consumido pelos organismos bênticos, mesmo no período de primaveraverão, quando há um aumento efetivo na produção nova pela intrusão da ACAS (Gaeta et al, 1999), e no inverno, época de diminuição da produção primária na região (Aidar et al, 1993;Gaeta et al, 1995;Saldanha-Corrêa & Gianesella, 2004).…”
