Description

Phytoplankton collected in the South Adriatic Sea during ADREX Experiment in February 2014. The ADREX experiment, as part of EU Project PERSEUS (http://www.perseus-net.eu), focuses on the investigation of the role of the Adriatic-Ionian system in transmitting the human-made pressures in the eastern Mediterranean through the Adriatic Dense Water (AdDW) formation and spreading.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

An oceanographic survey was carried out in February 2014 in the South Adriatic Sea. The two cruises are described at http://seadata.bsh.de/Cgi-csr/retrieve_sdn2/viewReport.pl?csrref=20156278 and http://seadata.bsh.de/Cgi-csr/retrieve_sdn2/viewReport.pl?csrref=20156279

Sampling

Sampling along the water column was performed with Niskin bottles associated to a CTD profiler. At each station, several discrete depths were sampled, according to station depth and hydrological vertical profiles.

Method steps

Samples were fixed with Ca(HCO3)2-buffered formaldehyde (0.8% final concentration) and cell abundance and species composition of phytoplankton were estimated according to Utermöhl’s method (1958), using an inverted microscope equipped with phase contrast, at 200-320-400x final magnifications.
