Method Step

Description
Water phytoplankton samples were preserved with Lugol (15 ml/l of sample). These samples were observed with a Nikon Diaphot T300E inverted-microscope following Utermöhl’s (1985) method, at 400x magnification. Samples were divided into sub-samples and 400 organisms were counted for taxonomic identification and cell size / abundance computations in each of them. Phytoplankton counts and morphometric measurements were performed semi-automatically using a video-interactive image analysis system (L.U.C.I.A, Laboratory Imaging) connected to the microscope. Taxonomic identification was carried out using several references.

Sampling

Sampling Description

The sampling design was as follows: 2 sampling ecosystems (M=within the bay , L=offshore the bay), 2 stations for ecosystem (1, 2) and 4 replicates for each station.

Samples were collected during September and November 2005 and January 2006 using a Niskin bottle.
