The transport and distribution of the toxic diatom Pseudo-nitzschia spp. in the Coos Bay estuary and the adjacent continental shelf

Cziesla, Christopher A., 1969- January 1999 (has links)
Typescript. Includes vita and abstract. Bibliography: Includes bibliographical references (leaves 84-88). Description: x, 88 leaves : ill. ; 29 cm. / Along the Oregon coast blooms of Pseudo-nitzschia spp. have been an almost annual occurrence since monitoring began in the late 80's. This study looks at the distribution of Pseudo-nitzschia spp., in relation to meteorological and oceanographic conditions. A series of transects (1995-98) were done in Coos Bay and over the adjacent continental shelf under a variety of oceanographic conditions. An intense sampling program was undertaken in June 1998, with simultaneous nearshore and in bay (Coos Bay) sampling, including a nearshore grid, 24 hour anchor station in the bay, and an in bay incoming tide drift study. The results suggest that blooms develop nearshore after upwelling events. In conditions of relaxed upwelling highest cell concentrations were found immediately adjacent to the coast in surface and mid-depth waters. At stations in Coos Bay, Pseudonitzschia spp. concentrations increased with the incoming tide. Nearshore phytoplankton populations were transported into the bay, initially in the more saline bottom waters, but were rapidly mixed throughout the water column by the turbulent flow in the channels. On ebbing tides there was a reduced number of phytoplankton in the water column, possibly indicating consumption by in bay filter feeders or sinking and deposition on the bottom.
