Excreção de materia orgânica dissolvida por populações fitoplanctônicas da costa leste e sudeste do Brasil

Excretion of dissolved organic matter by phytoplanktonic populations of the eastern and southeastern Brazilian coast

Resumos

Foram feitas medidas de produtividade e excreção de MOD em populações naturais da superfície de águas costeiras e oceânicas, entre Barreira Vermelha (BA) e Cabo de Santa Marta Grande (SC). Os valores relativos de excreção variaram entre 2 e 30% do total assimilado no frasco transparente. Os valores relativos de excreção aumentam em direção as zonas pelágicas, porem, em números absolutos, a excreção acompanha a produtividade. Os altos valores relativos encontrados em zonas oceânicas seriam relativamente baixos, e ate nulos em algumas estações, se a excreção no frasco preto fosse des contada do frasco transparente. Baseando-se na produtividade das estações, estas foram classificadas em tipos, sendo, então, determinado o valor médio de excreção de cada tipo. As estações oceânicas classificadas nos tipos I e II apresentaram um valor médio de excreção relativa de 20,2 e 17,8%, respectivamente. As estações costeiras situadas em areas densamente eutrofiçadas, tipos VI e VII, apresentaram um valor médio de excreção relativa de 4,6 e 3,1%, respectivamente. Os tipos III, IV e V, representando estações intermediarias, tem valores de 11,3, 7,3 e 8%, respectivamente.


Measurements of primary productivity and excretion of DOM in natural phytoplankton populations were carried out in surface waters from Lat. 17º14'S -Long. 039º13'W to Lat. 28º36'S -Long. 048º49'W. The relative rates of excretion varied between two and thirty percent from the total assimilated in the transparent bottle. In relative terms the excretion increased towards the pelagic zones, but in absolute results it followed the production values. Based on the predominat water masses and on the excretion values a classification of the stations under study is suggested.
