The community structures and succession of phytoplankton, protozooplankton and copepods were studied from February 2007 to July 2009 in a coastal area of the eastern English Channel subject to Phaeocystis globosa blooms. While diatom blooms preceded P. globosa blooms each year, the community structure and stock of heterotrophic protists appeared to be related to the dominant P. globosa life cycle stages. In 2007, the dominance of large colonies (> 100 mu m, up to 316 mu g C L(-1)), which resulted in a high biomass of healthy free cells (up to 132 mu g C L(-1)), accompanied high spirotrich ciliate stocks (up to 58 mu g C L(-1)) and high abundances of the copepods Acartia clausi and Temora longicornis (up to 11 ind. L(-1)). In 2008, the bloom which lasted... |
