摘要

Abstract

Photo-protective functions were investigated in phytoplankton assemblages at Kongsfjorden

Svalbard in spring

using their UV-absorbing compounds (mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs))

xanthophyll pigments (diadinoxanthin (DD) and diatoxanthin (DT)) and < beta >- dimethylsulphoniopropionate (< beta >-DMSP). The dominant phytoplankton species in the inner bay were dominated by Phaeocystis spp. and nanoflagellates

while the offshore waters were dominated by Thalassiosira spp. In the inner bay

UVabsorbing compounds and xanthophyll pigments exhibited higher ratios of MAA to chlorophyll a (MAA:chl a ratio)

and both DD and DT to chlorophyll a (DD:chl a ratio and DT:chl a ratio)

respectively. Thus

the photoprotective-pigments such as DD and DT appear to complement MAAs in the natural phytoplankton assemblage. However

the ratio of < beta >-DMSP to chlorophyll a (< beta >-DMSP:chl a ratio) did not show a distinct spatial distribution according to environmental factors or interspecies differences. In this study

we found that photoprotective compounds occurred in a manner dependent on the phytoplankton species composition in Kongsfjorden Bay

where Phaeocystis is the dominant species.
