Phytoplankton blooms are strongly impacted by microzooplankton grazing in coastal North pacific waters

Phytoplankton growth and microzooplankton grazing were measured in two productive coastal regions of the North Pacific: northern Puget Sound and the coastal Gulf of Alaska. Rates of phytoplankton growth (range: 0.09-2.69 day-1) and microzooplankton grazing (range: 0.00-2.10 day-1) varied seasonally,...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Phytoplankton growth and microzooplankton grazing were measured in two productive coastal regions of the North Pacific: northern Puget Sound and the coastal Gulf of Alaska. Rates of phytoplankton growth (range: 0.09-2.69 day-1) and microzooplankton grazing (range: 0.00-2.10 day-1) varied seasonally, with lowest values In late fall and winter, and highest values in spring and summer. Chlorophyll concentrations also varied widely (0. 19-13.65 mug 1-1).
