Pelagic bacteria and phytoplankton in oceanic waters near the Canary Islands in summer

Bacterial abundance, biomass and heterotrophic activity along with hydrographic and phytoplankton variables were measured in waters surrounding the Canary Islands during Cruise BIOCAN-98 in September 1998.

Zusammenfassung:	Bacterial abundance, biomass and heterotrophic activity along with hydrographic and phytoplankton variables were measured in waters surrounding the Canary Islands during Cruise BIOCAN-98 in September 1998. Three distinct oceanographic zones, defined using temperature and phytoplankton biomass concentrations, were studied. Zone A, located NW of La Palma Island, was characterized by the presence of alternating cold and warm eddies, and generally low phytoplankton biomass. Zone B was located beween La Palma and Tenerife islands and showed a predominance of cold-core eddies and higher phytoplankton concentrations than Zone A. All stations occupied in the eastern part of the Canary Islands were grouped in Zone C and were characterized by relatively low surface temperature (
