Cross-shelf gradients in phytoplankton community structure, nutrient utilization, and growth rate in the coastal Gulf of Alaska
The coastal Gulf of Alaska (CGOA) supports high abundances of invertebrates, fishes, and marine mammals. While variable from year to year, multi-decade fish production trends have been correlated with climate regimes such as the Pacific Decadal Oscillation. Winds, massive freshwater inputs, and comp...

| description | The coastal Gulf of Alaska (CGOA) supports high abundances of invertebrates, fishes, and marine mammals. While variable from year to year, multi-decade fish production trends have been correlated with climate regimes such as the Pacific Decadal Oscillation. Winds, massive freshwater inputs, and complex topography in the CGOA create high-energy physical features on multiple time and space scales. This suggests that climate might be linked to higher trophic level production through the regulation of resources for primary producers. Data from spring and summer 2001 revealed seasonal and spatial variability in the factors regulating CGOA primary production. Some of the highest growth rates (>1.0 d–1, as estimated with the seawater dilution technique) were measured in April diatom blooms. Nitrogen limitation of growth rates was evident as early as late April and appeared to follow closely the onset of spring stratification. The summer phytoplankton community was dominated by small ( |
