- Role of Dissolved Silicate in the Occurrence of a Phytoplankton Bloom
抄録
The spring bloom of phytoplankton was studied in March in Funka Bay, Japan, to test the Tsunogai (1979)'s hypothesis regarding the role of silicate in the bloom. The hypothesis comprises two parts. 1) Diatoms are predominant when all the physical and chemical conditions are adequate for plankton growth. 2) Since the Si: P ratio of the diatom body is usually much larger than that of sea water, flagellates (non-siliceous phytoplankton) replace diatoms after dissolved silicate in the sea water has been almost completely consumed by diatoms. At the end of the bloom in late March phosphate still remained in the water but silicate was exhausted and the main species of phytoplankton changed from diatoms to flagellates. Grazing pressure by zooplankton at this time was not so great. A model using the data on assimilation rates of silicate showed a dramatic change of silicate uptake in late March. Poison in scallops caused byProtogonyauluxsp.(dinoflagellates) rapidly increased from mid-April at all stations along the coast of Funka Bay. All of these findingssupport Tsunogai's hypothesis.
