The frequency of algal bloom’s event has been increased in Jakarta Bay, recently. Most of the bloom events were tend to be reoccurred after the rainy season. The research was conducted from 2008 until 2015 to study the linkage of nutrients and the ratios on the growth of the phytoplankton population. Collecting samples were conducted using a canonical plankton net of 20 µm mesh size, 125 cm length and 30 cm diameter of the opening mouth. The results of the study showed that the concentration of phosphate in the waters ranged from 0.01-12.5 µg/l (average 4.58 µg/l) and nitrate ranged from 0.01-15.89 µg/l (average 0.72 µg/l). The N/P ratio during the study ranging from 0.2 up to 45.4. High ratios of nutrients were mostly recorded in 2010 where the overall abundance of phytoplankton is very high. There is a strong correlation of N/P ratio with the community structure or composition of the phytoplankton population. The variability of phytoplankton abundance appears to be related to nutrient ratios of nitrate and phosphate.

We examined the effects of grazer community composition and fish on phytoplankton abundance by manipulating zooplankton community structure and the intensity of planktivory in a factorial experiment. Enclosures (1700-L bags) were treated with fish (present/absent) and two grazer communities (one a large-bodied community dominated by Daphnia and the other a small-bodied community dominated by Ceriodaphnia) in a 2 × 2 factorial design. We sampled zooplankton and algae every 4–8 d during the 5-wk experiment. Algal biovolume, chlorophyll a, total particulates, and light extinction were all significantly higher in the presence of fish. Further, the effect of fish on algal standing crop did not depend on which grazer assemblage was initially present. Fish enhanced algal standing crop to the same degree in both Daphnia and Ceriodaphnia treatments. We discuss these results in light of patterns reported in the literature, and the nature of size-structured interactions among fish, zooplankton, and algae.

Abstract. The stratification of the upper oligotrophic ocean has a direct impact on biogeochemistry by regulating the components of the upper-ocean environment that are critical to biological productivity, such as light availability for photosynthesis and nutrient supply from the deep ocean. We investigated the spatial distribution pattern and diversity of phytoplankton communities in the western Pacific Ocean (WPO) in the autumn of 2016, 2017, and 2018. Our results showed the phytoplankton community structure mainly consisted of cyanobacteria, diatoms, and dinoflagellates, while the abundance of Chrysophyceae was negligible. Phytoplankton abundance was high from the equatorial region to 10∘ N and decreased with increasing latitude in spatial distribution. Phytoplankton also showed a strong variation in the vertical distribution. The potential influences of physicochemical parameters on phytoplankton abundance were analyzed by a structural equation model (SEM) to determine nutrient ratios driven by vertical stratification to regulate phytoplankton community structure in the typical oligotrophic ocean. Regions with strong vertical stratification were more favorable for cyanobacteria, whereas weak vertical stratification was more conducive to diatoms and dinoflagellates. Our study shows that stratification is a major determinant of phytoplankton community structure and highlights that physical processes in the ocean control phytoplankton community structure by driving the balance of chemical elements, providing a database to better predict models of changes in phytoplankton community structure under future ocean scenarios.

Abstract. Sriwijayanti LA, Djumanto, Setiawan RY, Firdaus MR, Fitriya N, Sugeha HY. 2019. Community structure of phytoplankton in the surface and thermocline layers of Sangihe and Talaud waters, Indonesia. Bonorowo Wetlands 9: 51-58. The aim of this study was to determine the species dominance and distribution, and community structure of phytoplankton in the surface and thermocline layers of Sangihe and Talaud waters Indonesia. Phytoplankton samples were collected at the Sangihe-Talaud waters in October 2018 at 14 research stations. Water samples were collected at 5 m (surface) and thermoclines layers using rosette sampler equipped with Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth (CTD) recorder. Samples were concentrated to 40 ml using hand plankton net (mesh size 20 µm), then preserved with 4% formaldehyde. Phytoplankton species were identified using a guidebook based on morphological character traits. The cell count of each species of plankton was calculated using a Sedgwick rafter counting cell chamber. The result showed that there were 4 classes of phytoplankton (Bacillariophyceae, Dinophyceae, Cyanophyceae, and Raphydophyceae) which consisted of 59 species in the surface and 56 species in the thermocline, respectively. The abundance of phytoplankton at surface ranged from 77,333-4,024,000 cell m-3, meanwhile in the thermocline layer 8,000-542,222 cell m-3. The average of phytoplankton diversity of the surface was 0.82 and the thermocline was 1.71. The surface layer was dominated by Leptocylindrus danicus (8.92 x 106 cell m-3), Trichodesmium erythareum (5.83 x 106 cell m-3), and Detonula converfacea (0.62 x 106 cell m-3). The thermocline layer was dominated by Chaetoceros affinis (2.74 x 105 cell m-3), Thalassionema nitzchioides (2.21 x 105 cell m-3), and Chaertoceros dichaeta (1.38 x 105 cell m-3). The low phytoplankton abundance was found at the stations 12 and 13 caused by higher salinity concentration. The highest phytoplankton abundance was found in the stations with warmer temperatures, both in the surface and in the thermocline. The shallow depth thermocline layer (75-100 m) has a higher abundance than the deeper thermocline layer (110-150 m). Temperature was the environmental parameter that has the greatest influence on the abundance and species of phytoplankton, the phytoplankton in the surface layer reached 10 times more abundant than the thermocline layer.

Abstract. Vertical stratification determined the variability of temperature and nutrient distribution in upper seawater, thereby affecting the primary production of the ocean. Nutrients in the oligo-trophic region vary in time and space, and thus phytoplankton vary in their vertical distribution. However, the differences in the vertical distribution of phytoplankton have not been systematically studied. This study investigated the spatial distribution pattern and diversity of phytoplankton communities in the western Pacific Ocean (WPO) in the autumn of 2016, 2017 and 2018, as well as the local hydrological and nutritional status. The Utermöhl method was used to analyze the relevant ecological characteristics of phytoplankton in the surveyed sea area. In the three cruises investigated, we show universal relationships between phytoplankton and (1) vertical stratification, (2) N : P ratio (3) temperature and salinity. The potential influencing factors of physical and chemical parameters on phytoplankton abundance were analyzed by structural equation model (SEM), determining the vertical stratification index was the most important influence factor affecting phytoplankton abundance and indirectly on phytoplankton abundance by dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) and Dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP). Vertical stratification determines the vertical distribution of the phytoplankton community structure in the WPO. The areas with strong vertical stratification (Group A and B) are more conducive to the growth of cyanobacteria, and the areas with weak vertical stratification (Group C and D) are more conducive to the bloom of diatoms and dinoflagellates.
