Abstract
The findings of a cruise to study the phytoplankton bloom dynamics associated with the marginal ice zone (MIZ) in the Bellingshausen Sea during Austral spring (November-December) 1992 are reported. Biomass and rate process measurements were carried out at stations located in the ice, ice edge and open water along the 85°W meridian in order to establish the productivity of the microalgae associated with sea-ice and in the water column. In addition, a series of transects along 85°W from sea-ice to open water conditions enabled an assessment of the development of phytoplankton populations. Low phytoplankton biomass and production were noted at ice-covered and ice-edge stations and in the open water close to the ice edge. Observations from the transects indicated no development of a classical ice edge bloom despite evidence that sea-ice had retreated more than 100 km during the study period. Survey data along the 85°W line revealed a region of high chlorophyll, centred on 67.5°S, which was initially observed during brash ice conditions. This feature, which remained geographically consistent, persisted for at least 25 days and was thought to be associated with a frontal region. Water column primary production (14C) in this high chlorophyll region was ca 0.8 g C m−2 day−, more than 8 times higher than noted in the MIZ. Phytoplankton photosynthetic characteristics within this region indicated that cells were adapted to a low light regime. A critical depth of 80 m, estimated directly from oxygen flux measurements, was sufficient to permit the initiation and net growth of phytoplankton standing stocks in a mixed layer of ca 70 m. A modelling approach using 14C observations suggested that phytoplankton growth was less than the sum of the algal loss terms within this feature. An advective supply of cells therefore would be required to sustain the observed high and constant algal biomass. In addition, although this high chlorophyll feature was initially observed during brash-ice conditions, the available data suggest that it was initiated under open water conditions.
