This book was released on 1984 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to characterize the phytoplankton and their seasonal patterns of development in the lower Chesapeake Bay, in an adjacent river estuary, and at a station in shelf waters near the Bay entrance. The river estuary is Hampton Roads, through which the James, Elizabeth, Lafayette, and Nansemond Rivers join to enter the lower Chesapeake Bay. Many of the earlier studies stressed the net phytoplankton, where diatoms and dinoflagellates characterized seasonal peaks, which commonly occurred during spring and fall, and to a lesser degree in summer. However, the significance of the nanoplankton component to productivity and total cell concentrations was later emphasized. Further comments on the phytoplankton composition of Chesapeake Bay plume were given by Marshall (1982), who noted seasonal differences were distinct enough to characterize the plume in its early movement on the continental shelf. The phytoplankton composition of the lower Chesapeake Bay consisted of a diverse assemblage of 243 species. The major seasonal growth periods were dominated by a diatomaceous flora and a picoplankton complex composed mainly of cyanophytes and chlorophytes.
Download or read book Primary Productivity in the Chesapeake Bay During the Summer of 1964 written by W. Rowland Taylor and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Primary production by the phytoplankton of the upper Chesapeake Bay averaged about 1.5 to 3.5 Cm-2 day Cm-1 during the summer of 1964. Production in the tributaries was generally less than the open bay. This level of primary productivity is about the same as has been noted for other estuaries during summer months. On an annual basis, the production would be higher since the spring bloom phenomenon was not included in these measurements. The technique was evaluated by a series of rate measurements and a precision estimate. The precision of the method was estimated at about 20%. An endogenous physiological diurnal rhythm was noted but variations in photosynthetic capacity during the time of day that measurements were made was only about 25%. The ecological significance of these observations is discussed. (Author).

This book was released on 1985 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The coastal waters south of the Chesapeake Bay entrance contain a diverse assemblage of phytoplankters, dominated by net and nanoplankton components. Two major growth periods occur in later winter-spring and fall, and coincide with rising and decreasing water temperatures and changes in available light, rainfall, salinities, among other factors. The purpose of this study was to provide a seasonal profile of the phytoplankton composition from this coastal region where there is a diverse representation of estuarine and shelf populations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two major advances in a study of phytoplankton ecology in the Chesapeake Bay are reported. The annual subsurface transport of a dinoflagellate species (Prorocentrum mariae labouriae) from the mouth of the bay a distance northward of 120 nautical miles to the region of the Bay Bridge was followed. Prorocentrum is a major seasonal dinoflagellate in the Chespeake Bay and annually has been reported to form mahogany tides, dense reddish-brown patches, in the northern bay beginning in late spring and continuing through the summer. Subsequent to this annual appearance the Prorocentrum spread southward and into the western tributary estuaries. The physiological behavioral characteristics of the Prorocentrum were correlated with the physical water movements in the bay. A phytoplankton cage technique for the measurement in situ of the growth rates of natural mixed populations is described. (CH).
