英文摘要 | Pelagic ecosystems around tropical oceanic islands are considered oases of high plankton biomass in the middle of oligotrophic blue deserts. To understand the dynamics of such a pelagic ecosystem, we used CTD and ADCP data and zooplankton samples taken from the waters off the remote Fernando de Noronha Archipelago (FNA), Tropical Atlantic. We analyzed how the flow and island topography interactions influence the spatial variability of chlorophyll-a fluorescence and zooplankton abundance, biovolume, and normalized biovolume size spectra (NBSS). We used a 500-mu m mesh bongo net to obtain plankton samples in July and August 2010 in areas upstream and downstream of FNA. Zooplankton samples were analyzed with a ZooScan device. Chlorophyll-a peaks and a rise in thermocline indicated a topographic uplift and turbulence downstream of the island, i.e., the Island Mass Effect. The NBSS presented a mean slope of -1.19 +/- 0.28, and a mean intercept of 3.98 +/- 0.87. There were no significant differences in NBSS slopes and intercepts between upstream and downstream areas. Nevertheless, zooplankton and decapod community structures were significantly different between areas: meroplanktonic communities showed higher abundances and biovolumes downstream (p < 0.05). Zoeae of stenopodid cleaner shrimps, anomuran and brachyuran crabs, and fish eggs were significantly more abundant downstream, indicating a Larval Island Effect. Distinct peaks in size spectra due to teleost eggs and decapod larvae, downstream of FNA, also indicated a Larval Island Effect. Upstream of the island, there was a higher abundance of gelatinous organisms, holoplanktonic decapods, and advanced stages of brachyuran crabs (Upstream Island Effect). Also, copepods, gelatinous organisms, large-sized other crustaceans (e.g., euphausiids, amphipods, stomatopod larvae, mysids, etc.), teleost eggs, and stenopodids caused abundance peaks in the size spectra upstream. Our study highlights the need for careful management and conservation of parental spawning stocks of fishes and macroinvertebrates surrounding tropical oceanic islands. |
