[more ▼] Nutrients (nitrate, ammonia, silicate, phosphate) and primary production rates have been determined in the Liguro-Provençal front and adjacent water masses in March, June and October 1984. Nutrients vary seasonally in relation with the spring netphytoplankton bloom but also with the mixing and the stratification of the waters. Maxima of primary production are generally found in areas where nutrients supply and light utilization are favourable to the phytoplankton growth. Specific differences in the phytoplankton composition probably explain the productivity variations observed at some periods.

[more ▼] Cruises realized on board of the RV "Recteur Dubuisson" in the region of the Liguro-Provençal Front (Corsican area) allow the description of the chlorophyllian pigments distribution from the coast to 30 miles offshore. During spring, maxima of phytoplankton are found on the thermohaline front. During summer (June to October), chlorophyll maxima are situated below the stratified layer which slopes down from offshore to the coast. [less ▲] Detailed reference viewed: 6 (1 ULg) |
