However, the effects of marine ranching on phytoplankton dynamics remain unclear. In this context, this study takes the Bailong Pearl Bay National Marine Ranching Demonstration Zone as an example to evaluate the influence of marine ranching on the spatial and temporal variation in phytoplankton abundance and community structure. A total of 101 phytoplankton species, spanning 44 genera and 26 families, were documented in the Bailong Pearl Bay National Marine Ranching Demonstration Zone, with 19 of these species identified as harmful algal blooms (HABs) or potential HABs. In spring, phytoplankton abundance remained relatively uniform across sampling stations, with community structure characterized by varying combinations of co-dominant species. In summer, phytoplankton density within the demonstration zone was higher than in adjacent regions. In contrast, lower phytoplankton abundance was observed within the demonstration zone during autumn and winter, periods marked by phytoplankton blooms in surrounding areas (autumn: Chaetoceros lorenzianus, Rhizosolenia alata, and Skeletonema costatum; winter: Nitzschia pungens). Correlation analysis indicated that phytoplankton abundance was positively correlated with nitrate and negatively correlated with phosphate, suggesting nutrient availability as a key driver of phytoplankton dynamics. These findings provide baseline information on how phytoplankton communities vary spatially and seasonally in relation to a marine ranching zone and offer insights to support the management and rehabilitation of marine ecosystems.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Effects of marine ranching on phytoplankton community: A case study in the Bailong Pearl Bay National Marine Ranching Demonstration Zone, China","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-08-05 01:49:54.287849","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"AuthorKeywords":"Marine ranching; Community structure; Harmful algae blooms","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2026,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2026-07-29","DateCreate":"2026-07-29","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":null,"VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1,"DOI":"10.3390/biology15060477"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":441063,"PubliDate":2026,"Pagination":"477","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"15","Issue":"6","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":264525,"SerRR":"Biology-Basel.
