摘要

Abstract

A severe Cochlodinium geminatum red tide (>300 km2) was observed in the Zhujiang (Pearl) River estuary

South China Sea in autumn 2009. We evaluated the environmental conditions and phytoplankton community structure during the outbreak. The red tide water mass had significantly higher dissolved inorganic phosphate (DIP)

ammonia

and temperature

but significantly lower nitrite

nitrate

dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN)

and DIN/DIP relative to the non-red-tide zones. The phytoplankton assemblage was dominated by dinoflagellates and diatoms during the red tide. C. geminatum was the most abundant species

with a peak density of 4.13×107 cell/L

accounting for >65% of the total phytoplankton density. The DIN/DIP ratio was the most important predictor of species

accounting for 12.45% of the total variation in the phytoplankton community. Heavy phosphorus loading

low precipitation

and severe saline intrusion were likely responsible for the bloom of C. geminatum.
