摘要

Abstract

To examine the phytoplankton assemblages and the effect of diluted waters on them

a research cruise was conducted from July 19 to August 7

2015 in the Zhujiang (Pearl) River estuary in the northern South China Sea (21°N-23.5°N

111°E-117°E). Samples were collected from 65 stations including one for time-series sampling. A total of 212 phytoplankton taxa were identified from 61 genera belonging to 4 phyla. Among them

122 species identified from 42 genera of Bacillariophyta and 83 species from 15 genera of Pyrrophyta. Chain-forming diatoms dominated the phytoplankton community where

Pseudo-nitzschia delicatissima

Guinardia striata

Thalassionema nitzschioides

and

P. pungens

comprised about 52% of the total abundance. However

higher cell abundances concentrated on both sides of the estuary

because of low salinity and high nutrients brought by diluted water. In addition

Canonical Correspondence Analysis revealed that salinity and dissolved inorganic nitrogen shaped the species composition in the study area. Furthermore

the Jaccard similarity index showed prevailing high similarity in the distribution of species in low-salinity diluted waters

and the Bray-Curtis similarity depicted distinguished grouping for phytoplankton assemblages along the salinity gradient. However

phytoplankton diel vertical cycles showed maximum abundance occurred at 2:00 am

which was mainly contributed by benthic phytoplankton species

Pseudo-nitzschia

spp. and

T. nitzschioides
