Book excerpt: A survey of the net plankton of the Chesapeake Bay was undertaken using a continuous underway sampling system. A total of nine cruises was made between October 1955 and October 1956. The survey included the entire length of the Bay. Sixty-three diatoms, 19 dinoflagellates and 10 green algae were identified and quantitative distributions were noted. Two general distribution patterns of the phytoplankton were noted: (a) those which exhibited a single maximum and (b) those which exhibited two maxima. Temperature and salinity were the only environmental factors measured. In a few cases there are suggestions of weak correlations between these factors and phytoplankton distributions, but these were obviously not the primary factors controlling the distributions. Nutrients, radiant energy and grazing factors were not evaluated. Zooplankton were not emphasized in this survey and were identified and counted only to general taxa. These results indicate the need for additional research on the plankton of the Chesapeake Bay. (Author).

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).
