Variação nictemeral da clorofila α, produção primária do fitoplâncton e fatores ambientais da região de Ubatuba (Lat. 23º30'S Long. 45º06'W)

Abstract: • Abstract: A series of experiments with natural phytoplankton populations was carried out to study the diel variation of chlrophyll a, primary production and some environmental factors. Samples were collected from surface over a period of 24 hours and always from one fixed station located in Flamengo Inlet, Ubatuba region, southem Brazil The experiments were performed in situ and simulated conditions to verify the patterns of diel cycies of both biotic and abiotic factors; The results obtained showed that die… Show more

“…The oligotrophic southwestern Atlantic boundary current limits phytoplankton production, lower than in eastern upwelling systems by at least one order of magnitude (Longhurst, 2006). The overall shortage of nitrate, the main driver of new production (sensu Dugdale and Goering, 1967), along ca 8,500 km of the Brazilian continental margin (4 • N -28.5 • S) limits primary production to rates between 0.02 and 4 gC m −2 day −1 and mean chlorophyll concentrations to between 0.2 and 0.4 mg m −3 , usually less than 0.05 gC m −2 day −1 (Brandini, 1990;Teixeira and Gaeta, 1991;Smith and DeMaster, 1996;Gaeta et al, 1999;Medeiros et al, 1999;Castro et al, 2006). New nutrients are scarce throughout this oligotrophic coastal zone, which is dominated by the adjacent nutrient-poor open shelf waters.…”

“…O mesmo não foi observado por Teixeira & Gaeta (1991), que perceberam que a amplitude da variação da temperatura da água tem provável influência sobre o aumento ou decréscimo da clorofila a, e assim, em temperaturas mais elevadas e conseqüentemente menos chuvas, o conteúdo da clorofila a variou de 1,48 a 4,80mg.m -3 , mostrando-se elevado em relação aos meses com chuvas.…”

“…A supersaturação de oxigênio também foi observada por Teixeira & Gaeta (1991), na Enseada do Flamengo -Ubatuba (SP), para os autores, esta saturação foi nitidamente maiores no verão, devido também, a provável maior atividade biológica dos organismos.…”

“…This processes, together with the interaction between physical forces and biological activity (Dustan & Pinckney, 1989), generate great densities of phytoplankton populations (Ketchum, 1967). Teixeira & Gaeta (1991) mentioned that one of the fundamental aspects for the obtainment of data about the primary production of an ecosystem with greater accuracy and significance for the making of models, was the information obtained from the nyctemeral periodicity (24 hour cyclical activities comprising both day and night), not only of phytoplankton, but also of the particular environmental characteristics. Teixeira & Gaeta (1991) were the first to suggest the existence of the nyctemeral rhythm in the photosynthesis activity.…”

The estuarine region of Itamaracá stands out in the coastal strip of Pernambuco for its high productivity, being an area of intense fishing activity, besides offering a wide range of possibilities for the installation of aquacultural projects.…”
