Abstract—
This paper reports data on the structural and production characteristics of bacterioplankton in the western Kara Sea at the beginning and middle of summer. On the slope of the St. Anna Trough, the average prokaryote abundance in the water column was 594–708 × 103 cells mL−1 (26.4–36.5 mgC m–3) in June and 247–517 × 103 cells mL−1 (12–28 mgC m–3) at the beginning of August. On the transect along the Novaya Zemlya archipelago, the average bacterioplankton abundance in the water column was 186–554 × 103 cells mL−1 (8.5–30 mgC m–3) within a week after the seasonal ice retreat and 169–443 × 103 cells mL−1 (8–21 mgC m–3) in midsummer. The specific bacterial growth rate did not exceed 1.28 day–1; high values were observed in the upper warm water layer, above the halocline, and also in near-bottom water. At the beginning of summer, the bacterioplankton production tended to decrease in the northeast direction. The prokaryote abundance distribution was associated with water temperature and oxygen saturation possibly as an indirect indicator of the past phytoplankton bloom.
期刊介绍:
Oceanology, founded in 1961, is the leading journal in all areas of the marine sciences. It publishes original papers in all fields of theoretical and experimental research in physical, chemical, biological, geological, and technical oceanology. The journal also offers reviews and information about conferences, symposia, cruises, and other events of interest to the oceanographic community.
