Stable composition of the nano- and picoplankton community during the ocean iron fertilization experiment LOHAFEX. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
The iron fertilization experiment LOHAFEX was conducted in a cold-core eddy in the Southern Atlantic Ocean during austral summer. Within a few days after fertilization, a phytoplankton bloom developed dominated by nano- and picoplankton groups.

Feeding on the smallest cells: an in situ study of picoplankton capture by bivalve molluscs from oligotrophic waters

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
IntroductionBivalve molluscs are among the most prominent coastal benthic-suspension-feeders and their farming is the largest and fastest-growing sector of aquaculture.

Plankton Community Respiration and Particulate Organic Carbon in the Kuroshio East of Taiwan

open access: yesPlants, 2022
Biological organic carbon production and consumption play a fundamental role in the understanding of organic carbon cycling in oceans. However, studies on them in the Kuroshio, the western boundary current in the North Pacific Ocean, are scarce.

Distribution of Oikopleura Dioica (Tunicata, Appendicularia) associated with a coastal frontal system (39°- 41°s) of the SW Atlantic ocean in the spawning area of Engraulis Anchoita anchovy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Among tunicates, the small planktonic appendicularians generally comprise a significant fraction of the mesozooplankton in frontal systems. The summer 2011 distribution (vertical and spatial) of Oikopleura dioica was studied in terms of abundance ...

Possible means of overcoming sedimentation by motile sea-picoplankton cells

open access: yesOceanologia, 2017
A model for overcoming the gravity by sea-picoplankton cells is proposed here. It is based on different means of escaping from potential predators used by cells of co-existing picoplankton species.

Diel to Seasonal Variation of Picoplankton in the Tropical South China Sea

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Eight diel surveys on picoplankton (Prochlorococcus, Synechococcus, picoeukaryotes, and heterotrophic bacteria) abundance at the South East Asian Time-Series Station (SEATS; 18°N; 116°E) were conducted during the period of 2010 to 2014.

Impact of prawn farming effluent on coral reef water nutrients and microorganisms

open access: yesAquaculture Environment Interactions, 2017
Tropical coral reefs are characterized by low-nutrient waters that support oligotrophic picoplankton over a productive benthic ecosystem. Nutrient-rich effluent released from aquaculture facilities into coral reef environments may potentially upset the ...

Phylogenetic Structure of Synechococcus Assemblages and Its Environmental Determinants in the Bay and Strait Areas of a Continental Sea

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Marine Synechococcus, a significant contributor to primary production, shows high phylogenetic diversity. However, studies on its phylogenetic composition in the Bohai Sea, the largest continental sea in China, are lacking.
