摘要

Abstract

The size-fractionated phytoplankton biomass

and the spatial and temporal variations in abundance of Synechococcus (SYN) and picoeukaryotes (PEUK) were measured in the Taiwan Strait during three cruises (August 1997

February–March 1998

and August 1998). The results show that picophytoplankton and nanophytoplankton dominate the phytoplankton biomass

in average of 38% and 40%

respectively. SYN and PEUK varied over time in abundance and carbon biomass

greater in summer than in winter

in range of (7.70–209.2)×106 and (0.75–15.4)×106 cells/cm2 in the abundance

and 1.93–52.3 and 1.57–32.4 μgC/cm2 in the carbon biomass

for SYN and PEUK

respectively. The horizontal distributions of both groups were diurnal but heterogeneous in abundance

depending on the groups and layer of depths. Temperature is the key controlling factor for picophytoplankton distribution (especially in winter) in the Strait.
