Annual cycle of phytoplankton with emphasis on potentially harmful species in oyster beds of Términos Lagoon, southeastern Gulf of Mexico

To define the composition of the phytoplankton community, with an emphasis on harmful species, 6 stations were monitored monthly in the oyster beds of Términos Lagoon, SE Gulf of Mexico, from August 2012 to September 2013. Water temperature, salinity, hydrogen potential, oxygen saturation, inorganic...

Water temperature, salinity, hydrogen potential, oxygen saturation, inorganic nutrients and abundance of phytoplankton were determined. Temperature and salinity were characterized by marked seasonal differences. The pH values and the oxygen saturation suggest a predominance of photosynthetic activity. The phytoplankton community was characterized by the dominance of nanoflagellates and diatoms. The abundance and seasonal variation of phytoplankton showed minimum values (10³ cells L-1) during the dry season (February-May) and high values (10(6) cells L-1) during the rainy season (June-September). Another significant feature of the phytoplankton community was the presence of the harmful dinoflagellate species Akashiwo sanguinea, Karenia cf. mikimotoi, Pyrodinium bahamense var. bahamense, Prorocentrum mexicanum and P. minimum.
