Samples were collected at approximately 30 nautical mile intervals for the analysis of size-fractionated chl-a and the identification and enumeration of microphytoplankton species. Peaks in total chl-a (>1 μg 1 [superscript -1]) were recorded at the Subtropical Convergence (STC), at the Sub-Antarctic Front (SAF) and in the waters surrounding the Prince Edward Islands. In addition, a minor peak in chl-a concentration was recorded in the continental shelf waters. At stations where elevated chl-a concentrations were recorded, microphytoplankton generally formed a substantial contribution (-10%) to total chlorophyll. Outside these regions, total chlorophyll concentrations were lower (<0.9 μg 1 [superscript -1]) and almost entirely dominated by nano- and picophytoplankton, which contributed >95% of the total. Microphytoplankton species composition along both transects were dominated by chain-forming species of the genera Chaetoceros (mainly C. neglectum, C. peruvianus and C. constrictus), Nitzschia spp. and Pseudoeunotia doliolus. Cluster and ordination analysis based on species composition identified five distinct microphytoplankton assemblages, which were closely associated with the different water masses in the region between Cape Town and the Prince Edward Islands. The microphytoplankton species composition and biogeographic zones identified during this investigation are in general agreement with similar studies conducted in the south-west Indian Ocean during the austral summer, which suggests that there are little seasonal trends in both the microphytoplankton species composition and biogeographic zonation.]]> Thu 25 Apr 2024 15:50:06 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:6934 Thu 25 Apr 2024 15:49:41 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:6741 Thu 13 May 2021 08:06:07 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:6423 Thu 13 May 2021 07:43:38 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:6681 Thu 13 May 2021 07:01:49 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:7016 Thu 13 May 2021 06:16:50 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:6938 Thu 13 May 2021 05:41:46 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:6697 Thu 13 May 2021 04:54:35 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:6384 Thu 13 May 2021 04:40:32 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:6937 Thu 13 May 2021 04:36:36 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:6148 Thu 13 May 2021 03:27:16 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:6319 Thu 13 May 2021 03:07:02 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:6366 cobra>viper.
