摘要

Abstract

This study investigated net-phytoplankton biomass

species composition

the phytoplankton abundance horizontal distribution

and the correlations between net-phytoplankton communities and mesoscale structure that were derived from the net samples taken from the Western Boundary Currents during summer

2014. A total of 199 phytoplankton species belonging to 61 genera in four phyla were identified. The dominant species included

Climacodium frauenfeldianum

Thalassiothrix longissima

Rhizosolenia styliformis var

styliformis

Pyrocystis noctiluca

Ceratium trichoceros

and

Trichodesmium thiebautii

. Four phytoplankton communities were divided by cluster analysis and the clusters were mainly associated with the North Equatorial Counter Current (NECC)

the North Equatorial Current (NEC)

the Subtropical Counter Current (STCC)

and the Luzon Current (LC)

respectively. The lowest phytoplankton cell abundance and the highest

Trichodesmium

filament abundance were recorded in the STCC region. The principal component analysis showed that

T. thiebautii

preferred warm and nutrient poor water. There was also an increase in phytoplankton abundance and biomass near 5°N in the NECC region

where they benefit from upwellings and eddies.
