Microfitoplâncton de águas costeiras amazônicas: Ilha Canela (Bragança, PA, Brasil)
(Sociedade Botânica do Brasil, 2008-09) SOUSA, Eliane Brabo de; COSTA, Vanessa Bandeira da; PEREIRA, Luci Cajueiro Carneiro; COSTA, Rauquírio André Albuquerque Marinho da
Seasonal and nyctemeral variations of the microphytoplankton were studied at a fixed station (00º46'37.2''S-046º43'24.5''W) on Canela Island (North Brazil) in September and December/2004 (dry season) and in March and June/2005 (rainy season). Samples for qualitative phytoplankton studies were obtained by filtering 400 L of surface water in the surf zone of the island through plankton nets (65 μm mesh size). Field work was carried out during spring tides and samples were collected every 3 hours during a 24-hour period. The collected material was fixed in neutral formaldehyde at 4%. Simultaneously, salinity of the water surface was also measured. Salinity showed significant variation throughout the study period, ranging from 26.1 (June/2005) to 39.0 (December/2004), characterizing the environment as euhaline-polyhaline. A total of 130 taxa were identified, belonging to Cyanophyta (two taxa), Bacillariophyta (115 taxa) and Dinophyta (13 taxa). Diatoms were the dominant group of microphytoplankton at Canela Islan

Variação temporal do fitoplâncton e dos parâmetros hidrológicos da zona de arrebentação da Ilha Canela (Bragança, Pará, Brasil)
(Sociedade Botânica do Brasil, 2009-12) SOUSA, Eliane Brabo de; COSTA, Vanessa Bandeira da; PEREIRA, Luci Cajueiro Carneiro; COSTA, Rauquírio André Albuquerque Marinho da
Seasonal and nyctemeral variations of the phytoplankton and hydrological parameters were studied at a fixed station (00º46'37.2"S-046º43'24.5"W) situated in Canela Island (Bragança-Pará) in September and December, 2004 and in March and June, 2005. Subsurface water samples were taken for qualitative and quantitative phytoplankton studies and to determine chlorophyll a concentrations. Simultaneously physical and chemical parameters were measured: salinity, temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen and percent of oxygen saturation. A total of 64 taxa belonging to Cyanophyta (one taxon), Bacillariophyta (54 taxa) and Dinophyta (nine taxa) were identified. Chlorophyll a concentrations ranged from 4.67 mg m-3 (dry season), to 5.44 mg m-3 (rainy season) and follow phytoplankton densities, which were higher during the rainy period (mean values of 1,870 x 103 cell L-1). Phytoflagellates quantitatively dominated the local phytoplanktonic community followed by diatoms. Dimeregramma minor and Skeletonema sp. were abundant and ve
