摘要

Abstract

To understand the influence of Kuroshio intrusion on the phytoplankton community

a field investigation was conducted in spring 2017 in the East China Sea (ECS)

and 130 seawater samples were collected and analyzed.

Trichodesmium

comprised the highest cell abundance contributing about 66% of the total phytoplankton followed by diatoms (17%) and dinoflagellates (16%). The dominance of the Kuroshio Waters (KW) and the Taiwan Warm Currents (TWC) were higher than the Coastal Waters (CW). The vertical distribution of physicochemical parameters depicted the intrusion of KW at the bottom layer

but it failed to reach the surface as strong upwelling was not initiated. Therefore

the dissolved inorganic phosphate (DIP) concentrations and P/N ratios were the lowest in the CW and the upper water layers

which limited the diatom growth in this area. Besides

the dinoflagellates cell abundance was also lower except in the surface and CW

though they comprised the maximum richness of species among the phytoplankton community. However

the unique characteristics such as diazotrophy and gas vacuoles of

Trichodesmium

made the situation advantageous

and they comprised the maximum cell abundance in this area especially in KW and the TWC. Temperature

DIP and P/N ratios appeared to be the major environmental drivers for

Trichodesmium

proliferation in the ECS during the study period.
