Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To understand marine plankton ecology under the dysoxic and anoxic conditions, standing crops and taxonomic composition of various plankton groups were investigated in Ariake Sea and Omura Bay, where dysoxic and anoxic conditions were routinely observed during summer. Abundance ratio of phytoplankton against net-zooplankton was larger in the inner part of Ariake Sea and its tendency was remarkable on July and August. Furthermore, planktonic ciliates occurred even in the anoxic water near the sea bottom and their biomass was comparable with that in the surface and middle layers, and larger-sized species occurred frequently in the anoxic water. When bacterial mat was formed on the bottom surface after prolonged anoxic/dysoxic condition, unicellular nanoplankton showed extremely higher abundance.
