Vertical flux of chlorophyll a under fast ice near Syowa Station, Antarctica, in austral summer, 1991/1992
Sinking particles were collected using sediment traps, which were deployed at depths of 25 or 30m under fast ice near Syowa Station, Antarctica, from January 6 to February 6, 1992. Using the samples, fluxes of chlorophyll a (Chl a) were estimated and the contribution of algal sinking to the decrease...

Sinking particles were collected using sediment traps, which were deployed at depths of 25 or 30m under fast ice near Syowa Station, Antarctica, from January 6 to February 6, 1992. Using the samples, fluxes of chlorophyll a (Chl a) were estimated and the contribution of algal sinking to the decrease of phytoplankton biomass after the summer bloom was evaluated. The Chl a concentration, integrated above the depths at which the sediment traps were deployed, reached a maximum in mid-January. The Chl a flux became high after the maximum of the concentration was recorded. In the Chl a decreasing phase, daily decreasing rates of the Chl a concentrations in the water columns were 8.71-10.4mg Chl a m-2 day-1 . During this period the Chl a fluxes accounted for only 3.6-4.0 of the decreasing rates. These observations imply that algal sinking is not the major process of phytoplankton biomass decrease after the summer bloom. |
