Abstract

Abstract

During summer of 2014,an investigation on the abundance and distribution of the three photosynthetic picoplankton groups of Synechococcus(Syn),Prochlorococcus(Pro) and pico-eukaryotes(Euk) in the northern South China Sea and their environmentally regulating mechanisms was carried out using flow cytometry BD Accuri C6. The results show that the average abundances of Syn,Pro and Euk were 5.13×10³ cells/mL,3.27×10⁴ cells/mL and 1.85×10³ cells/mL,and the average abundances of carbon biomass were 1.19μg/L,1.86μg/L and 4.51μg/L,respectively. The cell abundance of each picoplankton group showed different distribution characteristics. The abundance of Syn,Pro and Euk was high nearshore and low off-shore. The highest abundances of Syn and Euk population both appeared in coast and continental shelf and upwelling waters. The highest abundance of Pro was observed along coast and continental shelf,while the lowest Pro population abundance was observed in upwelling waters. High values of Syn and Euk were mainly found at the surface,while high values of Pro mainly occurred at the bottom of euphotic layer. The variation in Euk distribution was less than those of Syn and Pro. The results of environmental factor correlation analysis indicated close negative correlations between picoplankton carbon biomass and nitrate concentration,silicate concentration and depth,and a significant positive correlation between picoplankton carbon biomass and phosphate concentration.
