摘要

Abstract

Phytoplankton blooms occurring in the Jiangdong Reservoir of Jiulong River

Fujian Province

South China

are a potential source of contamination of the drinking water of Xiamen (Amoy) City. To understand the main factors governing phytoplankton composition and succession

we sampled phytoplankton and measured environmental parameters in the reservoir

weekly or biweekly from Jan. 2010 to Feb. 2012. We identified 123 species of phytoplankton from 7 phyla and 74 genera. The major phyla were Chlorophyta

Bacillariophyta

Cryptophyta

Cyanophyta

and Dinophyta. The main trend in the succession of phytoplankton was from prevalence of Cryptophyta-Bacillariophyta communities to those of Chlorophyta-Cyanophyta. High cell concentrations of Cryptophyta

predominantly Komma caudate

Cryptomonas marssonii

and Cryptomonas erosa

were present in winter

associated with low river discharge and cold water. Bacillariophyta

primarily Cyclotella meneghiniana

Aulacoseira granulata

and Aulacoseira granulata var. angustissima

dominated in early spring

coinciding with high turbulence and low irradiance. During early summer and autumn

Chlorophyta

comprising Scenedesmus quadricauda

Dictyosphaerium ehrenbergianum

and Pandorina sp. were prevalent during conditions of warmer water temperatures and low turbulence. Cyanophyta

with dominance of Pseudanabaena mucicola

Merismopedia tenuissima and Raphidiopsis sp. increased throughout the summer

coinciding with higher water temperatures and lower nutrient concentrations. Dinophyta content was occasionally high during winter and summer. Peridiniopsis penardii (Dinophyta) bloomed during winter 2009

with a persistently high biomass recorded into early spring. Canonical correspondence analysis indicated that phytoplankton communities were influenced by river discharge

irradiance

water temperature

and nutrient concentrations.
