Residence time of water and phytoplankton biomass in coral reef lagoons

Phytoplankton Bloom Dynamics in Incubated Natural Seawater: Predicting Bloom Magnitude and Timing

“…6). Residence time is another important parameter for determining the timing of bloom outbreaks in nature, and it varies among regions (Delesalle and Sournia, 1992;De Sève, 1993;Phlips et al, 2012;Chen et al, 2013;Wan et al, 2013;Ralston et al, 2015;Glibert et al, 2018a). The residence time in Gamak Bay is approximately 11 days (Kim et al, 2016); this is greater than the highest Day peak of 4 days obtained in the present study.…”

Pico- and nanoplankton biomass and production in the two largest atoll lagoons of French Polynesia

“…This may be due to a different hydrology between the 2 atolls. Delesalle & Sournia (1992) indeed showed that the amount of chlorophyll a was in close relationship with the residence time of the waters in the lagoon. Lagoons that have a very rapid (< 40 d) exchange with the ocean are likely to become oligotrophic in terms of phytoplankton biomass.…”

Residence Time Analysis in the Albufera of Valencia, a Mediterranean Coastal Lagoon, Spain

“…The Scheldt estuary [31] presents values for favorable and unfavorable scenarios between 12 d in the Vlissingen zone and 110 d in the Antwerp zone (far from the mouth), showing the influence of tidal exchange. Also, in Pacific coastal lagoons in Polynesia it has been observed [32] that the most important factor correlated with the time of residence is the degree of opening to the sea, finding values in the range of 10 to 170 days, with an average value of 30 days. In the Gulf of California, the Soldado Lagoon presents values of about three days of renewal time, influencing a wide opening to the sea without obstacles [33].…”
