Trichodesmium, fitoplancton, fijación de nitrógeno, cianobacteria Bahía de Sanya

Resumen


Las tasas de fijación de nitrógeno de cianobacterias intermareales y bentónicas fueron investigadas en la Bahía de Sanya, desde 2003 a 2005. Trichodesmium thiebautii era la especie dominante de las cianobacterias planctónicas durante nuestra investigación. Se observaron variaciones espaciales y estacionales significativas (P<0.01) en la abundancia de Trichodesmium spp. La concentración más elevada de Trichodesmium se observó durante los períodos de intermonzón y en la región exterior de la Bahía de Sanya (estaciones fuera de la Bahía). En la estación fija S03 la abundancia de T. thiebautii variaba desde 1.14×103 a 2060×103 tricomas m–2, con una media anual de 273×103 tricomas m–2. El promedio de la tasa de fijación de nitrógeno por colonia de T. thiebautii era de 0.27 nmol N h-1 colonia y no mostraba una clara variación estacional. La fijación de nitrógeno por las cianobacterias planctónicas era superior en las estaciones de fuera de la Bahía, donde la cantidad estimada de nitrógeno nuevo introducido por Trichodesmium contribuía del 0.03 al 1.63% del total de la producción primaria y hasta el 11.64% de la producción nueva. Estadísticamente los resultados mostraban que las variaciones espaciales y estacionales significativas de las tasas de fijación de nitrógeno fueron encontradas entre las comunidades intermareales. Las principales cianobacterias bentónicas fijadoras de nitrógeno fueron identificadas como miembros de los géneros Anabaena, Calothrix, Lyngbya, Nostoc y Oscillatoria. La tasa de fijación de nitrógeno más alta fue encontrada en los tapetes microbianos y las más bajas en los arrecifes y sedimentos rocosos. Todas las comunidades bentónicas estudiadas presentaban la mayor actividad de fijación de nitrógeno en verano, con un promedio de tasas de fijación de 33.31 ?mol N h-1 m-2, mientras que la menor actividad de fijación de nitrógeno fue detectada en invierno, con un promedio de 5.66 ?m N h-1 m-2. Análisis de correlación (Pearson) indicaban que las tasas de fijación de nitrógeno en los tres tipos de comunidades intermareales estaban significativamente correlacionados con la temperatura del agua (P<0.05). Mientras que la tasa de fijación de nitrógeno de las comunidades de los arrecifes y sedimentos rocosos estaban correlacionadas significativamente con la salinidad del agua de mar (P<0.05).
