Method Step

Description
Samples for taxonomy and cell size / abundance analysis were preserved with Lugol (15 ml/l of sample). Samples were observed with a Nikon T300E inverted microscope following Utermöhl’s method and identified to species level where possible. Data were obtained and linear dimensions were measured at 400x magnification with a microscope connected to a video-interactive image analysis system (L.U.C.I.A, Version 4.8, Laboratory Imaging s.r.o.). Then, the calculation of volume was based on geometric approximations assigning a geometric shape for determination of surface area and volume following (http://phytobioimaging.unisalento.it/en-us/products/AtlasOfShapes.aspx?ID_Tipo=0). As a general rule, traits were calculated for counting units, most often this means single cells and sometimes 100 µm threads, coenobiums and colonies (e.g. in some filamentous cyanobacteria) where cells are not observable.

Sampling

Sampling Description
The sampling design was as follows: five stations within the lagoon, two replicates at each of the five stations and three sub-samples for each replicate. For each single sub-sample 2000 cells were counted, identified and measured, which resulted in 12000 counted cells per sampling station.
