Protist community composition in the water column on the East Greenland shelf, May 2022 ...
The community composition of suspended protists was investigated at 3 stations on the East Greenland continental shelf as part of the EU project ECOTIP. Water was sampled with a 1.7 L Nansen Water bottle at the stations LCC1 (13 May 2022), LCC2 (14 May 2022), and LCC3 (17 May 2022) at 5, 15, 35 m. A...

| Summary: | The community composition of suspended protists was investigated at 3 stations on the East Greenland continental shelf as part of the EU project ECOTIP. Water was sampled with a 1.7 L Nansen Water bottle at the stations LCC1 (13 May 2022), LCC2 (14 May 2022), and LCC3 (17 May 2022) at 5, 15, 35 m. At station LCC2, a sample was also collected at 90 m. Water samples were collected through a hole in the land-fast sea ice at station LCC1 and LCC2 and from a ship at station LCC3 (station located in a polynya outside Scoresby Sound). The collected water was gently transferred into a carboy, which was stored cool (not freezing) and in darkness until handling within few hours. From each carboy, a subsample of 100 mL was transferred into a glass bottle, preserved with 1 mL acidic Lugol’s solution for later microscopic analysis. The CTD data from the stations and the suspended concentration of chlorophyll a (> 0.7 micrometer and > 10 micrometer) as well as the organic carbon and nitrogen can be found in the NIRD ... |
