“…was noticed in November 2014 (1.85 × 10 5 cells/l) (Figure 4), with diatoms abundance also the highest in November. These results were similar with the data noted by Drakulović et al (2012) and Bosak et al (2012) for the Boka Kotorska Bay, Totti et al (2000) for the middle Adriatic.…”

“…Similar was noticed in the eastern Adriatic by Bužančić, Ninčević-Gladan, Marasović, Kušpilić and Grebec (2016). In the middle Adriatic, on the western coastal area, Totti et al (2000) noticed maximal value of diatoms due to the growth of diatoms species Pseudo-nitzschia spp., and also the similar finding is for southern Adriatic Sea (Caroppo, Congestri, Bracchini, & Albertano, 2005). In this study, maximal abundance of diatoms was in autumn, which is different when compared to previous researches by Drakulović et al (2012) when the highest value was recorded in late winter -early spring.…”

The distribution of toxic and potentially toxic phytoplankton species in relation to environmental factors was investigated from November 2014 to April 2015 in Boka Kotorska Bay, in the south -eastern part of the Adriatic Sea. The RDA analysis of environmental parameters showed that the system is mostly temperature-driven. The phytoplankton community was mainly composed of diatoms and less with dinoflagellates. Pseudo-nitzschia was the dominant diatom, present in 88.40 % of samples, with a maximum (of 1.85 × 10 5 cells/l). Among toxic dinoflagellates, frequent were Dinophysis acuminata (with frequency of 33.33%), D. fortii (with frequency of 23.19%) and Prorocentrum cordatum (with frequency of 21.74%). The RDA analysis showed that diatoms correlated slightly positively with nutrients and negative correlation was recorded with temperature and salinity. Dinoflagellates showed strong positive association, indicating a positive correlation with oxygen concentration, chl a, SiO4 -and NO3 -concentrations and negative correlation with temperature and salinity.

“…Although we cannot rule out the contribution of advected detrital alkenones (Sicre et al, 2005;Rühlemann and Butzin, 2006), this anomaly most probably reflects a shift in the alkenone production. Today, in the western Mediterranean Sea and Adriatic Sea blooms of E. huxleyi occur in spring and fall (Ternois et al, 1996;Sicre et al, 1999;Totti et al, 2000). However, a recent comparison of proxy and instrumental 20th century time series in the North Atlantic has shown that environmental factors can alter alkenone production pattern at interannual to decadal timescale (Sicre et al, 2011).…”

Seemingly divergent sea surface temperature proxy records in the central Mediterranean during the last deglaciation

Sea surface temperatures (SSTs) were reconstructed over the last 25 000 yr using alkenone paleothermometry and planktonic foraminifera assemblages from two cores of the central Mediterranean Sea: the MD04-2797 core (Siculo–Tunisian channel) and the MD90-917 core (South Adriatic Sea). Comparison of the centennial scale structure of the two temperature signals during the last deglaciation period reveals significant differences in timing and amplitude. We suggest that seasonal changes likely account for seemingly proxy record divergences during abrupt transitions from glacial to interglacial climates and for the apparent short duration of the Younger Dryas (YD) depicted by the alkenone time series, a feature that has already been stressed in earlier studies on the Mediterranean deglaciation

“…In Pernambuco, the distribution of plankton is regulated mainly by eutrophication, river discharges, hydrology, tidal stage, precipitation and grazing (Paranaguá, 1985/86, NeumannLeitão et al, 1991/93 and Eskinazi et al, 1997. Some research done in other coastal zones have identified the role of wind effects (Gómez-Erache et al, 2000), tidal influence (Villate, 1997), atmospheric pressure, current speed and direction, water temperature (Licandro and Ibanez, 2000) and seasonal changes (Khalil and El-Rahman, 1997;Villa et al, 1997 andTotti et al, 2000) to control the distribution and composition of plankton communities. In the study area, the observed distribution pattern was mainly conditioned by precipitation and evaporation rates, nutrient concentrations, temperature, salinity and tidal stage patterns.…”

A study of the structure of the plankton community along the coastal zone of the Casa Caiada-Rio Doce area (Pernambuco, Brazil) is presented. The results obtained indicated that in the protected zones the water presented high turbidity, high temperature, low salinity and high nutrient and oxygen rates. All of these conditions were responsible for the reduction in plankton diversity and an increase in the biomass of the most opportunistic (rstrategist) species e.g. Gyrosigma balticum and Bacillaria paxillifera (Phytoplankton) and Euterpina acutifrons (Zooplankton). The differences found with respect to others area studies performed in pristine conditions indicated that plankton structure could be used as an environmental health indicator and that, in this specific area, it was indicative of a poor quality coastal environment.
