摘要

Abstract

The influence of sea ice on the species composition and cell density of phytoplankton was investigated in the eastern Bering Sea in spring 2008. Diatoms

particularly pennate diatoms

dominated the phytoplankton community. The dominant species were Grammonema islandica (Grunow in Van Heurck) Hasle

Fragilariopsis cylindrus (Grunow) Krieger

F. oceanica (Cleve) Hasle

Navicula vanhoeffenii Gran

Thalassiosira antarctica Comber

T. gravida Cleve

T. nordenskiöeldii Cleve

and T. rotula Meunier. Phytoplankton cell densities varied from 0.08×104 to 428.8×104 cells/L

with an average of 30.3×104 cells/L. Using cluster analysis

phytoplankton were grouped into three assemblages defined by ice-forming conditions: open water

ice edge

and sea ice assemblages. In spring

when the sea ice melts

the phytoplankton dispersed from the sea ice to the ice edge and even into open waters. Thus

these phytoplankton in the sea ice may serve as a “seed bank” for phytoplankton population succession in the subarctic ecosystem. Moreover

historical studies combined with these results suggest that the sizes of diatom species have become smaller

shifting from microplankton to nannoplankton-dominated communities.
