In this work the Auda marsh, which is part of a system of Iraqi marshes, was sampled to assess the seasonal dynamics and controlling factors of microalgae productivity. The marshes are situated in a hot climate with high seasonal variation near the Arabian Gulf. Physicochemical and biological measurements were taken for water in three areas. Bio-optical models were constructed to describe the primary productivity and chlorophyll-a concentrations in the wet and dry seasons separately and also for the entire area of the Iraqi marshes. The models, as well as almost all measurements, showed high seasonal variation. The mean water temperature was 16 °C in the wet season and 28 °C in the dry season. An almost twofold difference was measured for turbidity and the concentrations of dissolved oxygen and chlorophyll-a for the two seasons. Chlorophyll-a appeared to be a better indicator of ecosystem conditions than primary productivity or biological oxygen demand, according to the results obtained from canonical correlation analysis. Nitrogen or phosphorous did not explain primary productivity or chlorophyll-a to an appreciable extent. Biological variables were related most strongly to water temperature and turbidity, which were the factors most important for controlling phytoplankton productivity in the marshes.

In recent years, the change of marine environment due to climate change and declining primary productivity have been big concerns in the East/Japan Sea, Korea. However, the main causes for the recent changes are still not revealed clearly. The particulate organic carbon (POC) to chlorophyll-a (chl-a) ratio (POC:chl-a) could be a useful indicator for ecological and physiological conditions of phytoplankton communities and thus help us to understand the recent reduction of primary productivity in the East/Japan Sea. To derive the POC in the East/Japan Sea from a satellite dataset, the new regional POC algorithm was empirically derived with in-situ measured POC concentrations. A strong positive linear relationship (R2 = 0.6579) was observed between the estimated and in-situ measured POC concentrations. Our new POC algorithm proved a better performance in the East/Japan Sea compared to the previous one for the global ocean. Based on the new algorithm, long-term POC:chl-a ratios were obtained in the entire East/Japan Sea from 2003 to 2018. The POC:chl-a showed a strong seasonal variability in the East/Japan Sea. The spring and fall blooms of phytoplankton mainly driven by the growth of large diatoms seem to be a major factor for the seasonal variability in the POC:chl-a. Our new regional POC algorithm modified for the East/Japan Sea could potentially contribute to long-term monitoring for the climate-associated ecosystem changes in the East/Japan Sea. Although the new regional POC algorithm shows a good correspondence with in-situ observed POC concentrations, the algorithm should be further improved with continuous field surveys.

Hypolimnetic Oxygen

In 12 lakes a significant fraction of the hypolimnetic oxygen deficit was produced by the respiration of seston in the hypolimnetic water column. Mean summer seston respiration rates ranged between 4 and 80 mg O2∙m−3∙d−1. Rates of seston respiration were proportional to the in situ water temperature and to the concentration of Chlorophyll a. The amount of oxygen consumed in the water column and the fraction of the total oxygen deficit produced by sestonic respiration were correlated with the amount of phosphorus sedimented from the epilimnion. Fifteen to 66% of the total oxygen consumption occurred in the water column of the hypolimnion. Seston respiration was a larger proportion of the total respiration in the hypolimnion of lakes with a thick hypolimnion than in lakes with a shallow hypolimnetic water column.

The primary goal of this study is to shed light on some important factors that control algal bloom in a large-scale regulated river system. Long-term impacts of environmental conditions on algal dynamics were investigated in the Paldang dam watershed, Korea. Dam inflow, water temperature, chlorophyll-a, TN, PO4-P and TP data collected at five major dams located on the North Han River (NHR) and at four water quality monitoring sites on the South Han River were analyzed for 21 years (1992 to 2012) to examine spatio-temporal variations in each. A pattern of slightly increasing chlorophyll-a and nutrient levels in the NHR since 2001 indicates that algal dynamics were affected by the increased nutrient levels as well as the reduced flow conditions (−10% to −37%). The temporal variations in monthly averaged data collected during summer monsoon seasons (mainly July) over the two decades show that high chlorophyll-a levels observed in both rivers corresponded to the relatively lower flow condition, which means a reduced amount of dam water release due to low or no rainfall over a short period of time, and abnormally high water temperature. This study shows that flow control is most critical for effectively managing algal level in the rivers in the short term, and nutrient management in the watershed is the key to reducing the potential for algal bloom in the long term.

<p>Recognizing intra- and inter-daily dynamics of Chlorophyll a (Chl-a) and its related environmental variables in consecutive days play an important role in assessing and managing water quality and eutrophication. In this study, the water temperature, nutrients, Chl-a concentration  and meteorological factors were collected at six sampling times in Guanting reservoir during summer. Chl-a concentration generally decreased from last May to primary September. At both test times, thermal stratification and mixing in the water column controlled the variation of maximum Chl-a concentration layer at both temporal and vertical scale. The position of the maximum Chl-a concentration layer between days generally followed the same dynamics as thermocline. Daily stratifications were temporary and maximum Chl-a concentration layer varies downwelling by wind driven; hence, the vertical distribution of Chl-a concentration was homogenized at night. Surface Chl-a concentration decreased during the day and increased at night, except on rainy days. The results of Person correlations and principal component analysis indicated that raw surface and daily average Chl-a concentration generally changed as a negative function of solar radiation, wind speed, water temperature and air temperature. However, when a five hour time lag is considered, the relationship between surface Chl-a concentration, water temperature and all meteorological factors became significantly positive.</p>

Herawati VE, Hartoko A, Suminto. 2012. The suitability of Segara Anakan waters, Cilacap, Central Java as cultivation area of Polymesoda erosa based on primary productivity using satellite image. Bonorowo Wetlands 2: 41-51. Segara Anakan waters, Cilacap, Central Java is a natural habitat of totok shells (Polymesoda erosa) of high economic value, however, the sustainability of these protein sources is threatened due to habitat degradation and over-harvesting. This study aims to (i) analyze the suitability of Segara Anakan Lagoon to cultivate the toktok shells, as a conservation effort, based on the aspect of primary productivity and chlorophyll-a; (ii) to analyze the suitability of Segara Anakan waters to cultivate the toktok shells based on field data and SPOT satellite image data, ie chlorophyll a, water surface temperature, total suspended solid, pH, dissolved oxygen, salinity, as well as nitrate and phosphate content. The basic concept of this research is combining SPOT satellite image analysis and direct field measurement of some primary productivity parameters in Segara Anakan waters to know the suitability for thokthok shells cultivation. Based on scoring and suitability level, stations 1 and 3 (in the western estuary of Segara Anakan lagoon) are " Suitable on condition" (Sesuai Bersyarat) for the cultivation of totok shells, covering an area of 326,035039 ha. While, stations 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 (other locations) are " Not Suitable" (Tidak Sesuai) for the cultivation of totok shells, covering an area of 557,057573 ha.
