“…Phytoplankton sampling was conducted according protocols established for the Citizen Science project, FjordPhyto (www. fjordphyto.org, Cusick et al, 2020) and explained in this section. Sampling took place from November through March in 2016-2017 (from now on season 1 or S1), 2017-2018 (season 2 or S2), and 2018-2019 (season 3 or S3) aboard multiple tour expedition vessels in the six nearshore areas depicted in Figure 1 (for more information see Supplementary Table 1).…”

“…Subsequently, samples were fixed with Lugol's solution at 4% (Edler and Elbrächter, 2010) and kept in a cool dark location. Expedition ship staff (i.e., polar expedition guides) received in-person training from FjordPhyto project researchers on appropriate sampling methods before the start of each season (Cusick et al, 2020). At the end of the season, samples were sent to the lab at Divisioń Ficologıá in Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Museo (Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Argentina) for analysis.…”

“…En la PA, los muestreos de fitoplancton comenzaron a mediados del siglo XX y se han centrado principalmente al oeste de la PA, como se revisa en Ferreira et al (2020). La dureza de las condiciones ambientales y el aislamiento del entorno representan una gran limitante para los muestreos científicos que requieren un gran despliegue logístico, lo cual solo permite realizar muestreos durante cortos periodos de tiempo (Cusick et al 2020). Estas zonas además resultan difíciles para la observación Capítulo 1 │ mediante imágenes satelitales, debido a la cercanía a la costa y a que la Antártida es una zona con alta cobertura de nubes (Pan et al 2019).…”

“…Cabe mencionar que los datos de CTD, turbidez (profundidad de disco de Secchi), y de metagenómica colectados en el marco del proyecto FjordPhyto (Fig. 2.2., Cusick et al 2020), no fueron considerados para el desarrollo de esta tesis. Asimismo, debido a la complicada logística del proyecto no es posible colectar mayores volúmenes de muestra de agua (120mL) ni réplicas.…”
