Plankton Log - MedFlux II Cruise (S. Fowler) N.B. This describes the principal phytoplankton and zooplankton which were collected as samples. It is not a comprehensive quantitative or qualitative listing of all species present in the water column, just the key species observed or used for analyses.
8 March 2005	Phytoplankton net: Dinoflagelates Ceratium sp. (lots of them), no diatoms noted in samples. Cindy and Lynn’s “black seed” sample of heavier residue rinsed from splitter: Ceratium sp., small larval (?) pteropods swimming, ostracods, tintinnids (loricates) maybe Dictyocysta sp., Globogerina sp. (forams), Vorticella sp. (ciliates), many round dense black fecal pellets along with fragments of euphausiid fecal pellets. (very abundant) Omari Zooplankton net: Psuedothecosome pteropod (Cymbulia peroni), euthecosome pteropods (the larger Diacria trispinosa, Euclio pyramidata, Cavolinia gibbosa, Cavolinia inflexa, Cavolinia tridentata), northern krill/euphausiid (Meganyctiphanes norvegica), euphausiids (Euphausia krohnii, Nematoscelis megalops), salps (Salpa maxima), copepods (Calanus helgolandicus, Euchirella rostrata, Heterorhabdus* sp.
10 March 2005	Phytoplankton net: Brown phytoplankton soup was sieved through 300 um mesh. <300um: Dinoflagelates Ceratium contortum, Ceratium contrarium, Ceratium tripsos,and Goniaulax sp., copepidites, radiolarians, tintinnids, and no diatoms were noted! >300um (Stuart elutriated this): radiolarians, acantharians, copepods (Euchirella rostrata, Calanus helgolandicus), some Ceratium, and fecal pellets. Omari Zooplankton net: Same zooplankton species that were collected on 8 March.
11 March 2005	Phytoplankton net: Took sample for Stuart, the girls and us. Brown soup as previous collections containing many copepod larvae and copepidites, radiolarians, tintinnids, fecal pellets and a very few diatoms (Biddulphia sp. and Nitzschia sp.). Omari Zooplankton net: Same zooplankton species that were collected on 8 and 10 March.
