Productivity was estimated from natural fluorescence measurements (P-NP) using photosynthesis (P) v. irradiance (E) relationships (P-E) and by means of the <i>in situ</i> C-14-method (P-C). A linear regression of P-NF productivity against P-C and P-E productivities yielded a slope of 0.911 and an r(2) of 0.83 (n = 41). Physical and biological variability was high inshore. reflecting alternating periods of upwelling and quiescence. Mean chlorophyll inshore (within a 12 m water column) ranged from 0.7 to 57.8 (mean = 8.9) mg m(-3), mean P-NF productivity ranged from 8.4 to 51.0 (mean = 24.6) mgC.m(-3).h(-1) and daily integral P-NF productivity from 0.8 to 4.8 (mean = 2.3) gC.m(-2) day(-1). Transects sampled during active and relaxation phases of upwelling had different chlorophyll distributions. High chlorophyll concentrations (sometimes > 50 mg.m(-3)) were associated with surface blooms within the region of the upwelling front. Estimates of daily water-column PNF productivity within these frontal blooms ranged from 4.0 to 5.6 gC.m(-2) day(-1). With relaxation of wind stress, blooms dominated by dinoflagellates flooded shorewards and often formed red tides. Chlorophyll concentrations of > 175 mg.m(-3) and productivity rates > 500 mgC(.)m(-3.)h(-1) and 12 gC.m(-2.)day(-1) were measured during a particularly intense red tide. Offshore, the water column was highly stratified with a well-defined subsurface chlorophyll maximum layer within the pycnocline region. Estimates of daily water-column P-NF productivity ranged from 2.4 to 4.0 gC(.)m(-2)day(-1) offshore. The high productivity of shelf waters on the West Coast in late summer can be ascribed largely to dinoflagellate populations and their success in both upwelling systems and stratified conditions.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Productivity of dinoflagellate blooms on the west coast of South Africa, as measured by natural fluorescence","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2025-07-02 08:33:14.980000","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+00:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":"SOLAR-STIMULATED FLUORESCENCE, BENGUELA UPWELLING SYSTEM, MARINE-PHYTOPLANKTON, RED-TIDE, PHOTOSYNTHESIS, PACIFIC, CHLOROPHYLL, POPULATIONS, IRRADIANCE, MIGRATION","Notes":null,"AnaPub":2000,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2001-08-08","DateCreate":"2001-06-05","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000168463600020","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":10644,"PubliDate":2000,"Pagination":"273-284","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"22","Issue":null,"BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":43929,"SerRR":"South African Journal of Marine Science = Suid-Afrikaanse Tydskrif vir Seewetenskap.
