Diversity and distribution of tintinnid ciliates along salinity gradient in the Pearl River Estuary in southern China

Tintinnid community structure in the Pearl River Estuary were investigated 6 times (10, 29 October 2014; 11, 30 June 2015 and 15 March, 1 April 2017) from upstream freshwaters to polyhaline waters. A total of 43 tintinnid species in 15 genera were identified. Freshwater, brackish and marine species...

Zusammenfassung:Tintinnid community structure in the Pearl River Estuary were investigated 6 times (10, 29 October 2014; 11, 30 June 2015 and 15 March, 1 April 2017) from upstream freshwaters to polyhaline waters. A total of 43 tintinnid species in 15 genera were identified. Freshwater, brackish and marine species occurred in sequence along salinity gradient. Tintinnopsis mayeri, T. tubulosa and Tintinnidium fluviatile were freshwater species. Fourteen and 15 tintinnid species were considered as brackish and marine species, respectively. The preferred salinity of freshwater species was
