Study on primary production with emphasis on phytoplankton biovolume and chlorophyll-a in the southern Caspian Sea-Goharbaran region

open access: yes‬‭Majallah-i ̒Ilmī-i Shīlāt-i Īrān, 2017
Phytoplankton biovolume and concentration of chlorophyll a are of major concerns in estimating the primary production in aquatic ecosystems. The objective of the present study was to estimate the concentration of chlorophyll a and its relation to ...

Microplastics in the menu of Mediterranean zooplankton: Insights from the feeding response of the calanoid copepod Centropages typicus

open access: yesMarine Ecology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Microplastic input into the ocean represents an increasing threat to marine biota and may endanger the functioning of marine ecosystems, especially in semi‐enclosed basins, such as the Mediterranean Sea. The size spectrum of microplastics overlaps with that of nano‐microplankton (2–200 μm), thus potentially misleading suspension‐feeding ...

Changes in Phytoplankton Community Composition and Phytoplankton Cell Size in Response to Nitrogen Availability Depend on Temperature

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2022
The climate-driven changes in temperature, in combination with high inputs of nutrients through anthropogenic activities, significantly affect phytoplankton communities in shallow lakes. This study aimed to assess the effect of nutrients on the community

Periphytic algal biomass in two distinct regions of a tropical coastal lake Biomassa de algas perifíticas em duas regiões distintas de uma lagoa costeira tropical

open access: yesActa Limnologica Brasiliensia, 2012
AIM: This study assessed the phycoperiphyton biomass in two regions submitted to different human impacts on Juara Lake, a coastal ecosystem with multiple uses, to order to test the hypothesis that the sampling sites that receive domestic sewage shows ...

Bacterial Biovolume and Biomass Estimations [PDF]

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology, 1985
The biomass of bacterial populations in aquatic ecosystems is often estimated by measuring bacterial biovolume and converting this into biomass in terms of carbon. A reliable conversion factor relating the measured bacterial biovolume to bacterial carbon content is essential for this approach. Based on direct measurements of bacterial cell

Use of CMEIAS Image Analysis Software to Accurately Compute Attributes of Cell Size, Morphology, Spatial Aggregation and Color Segmentation that Signify in Situ Ecophysiological Adaptations in Microbial Biofilm Communities

open access: yesComputation, 2015
In this review, we describe computational features of computer-assisted microscopy that are unique to the Center for Microbial Ecology Image Analysis System (CMEIAS) software, and examples illustrating how they can be used to gain ecophysiological ...

Relationships between Biovolume and Biomass of Naturally Derived Marine Bacterioplankton [PDF]

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology, 1987
Microscopic estimation of bacterial biomass requires determination of both biovolume and biovolume-to-biomass conversion. Both steps have uncertainty when applied to the very small bacteria typically found in natural seawater. In the present study, natural bacterioplankton assemblages were freshly collected, passed through 0.6-μm-pore-size

Copepod Feeding Responses to Changes in Coccolithophore Size and Carbon Content

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
Phytoplankton stoichiometry and cell size could result from both phenology and environmental change. Zooplankton graze on primary producers, and this drives both the balance of the ecosystem and the biogeochemical cycles.
