Seasonal variation of ciliate assemblage in the coastal water of northeast Taiwan / 台灣東北部沿岸海域纖毛蟲群集之季節變動與環境關係

碩士 / 國立海洋大學 / 漁業科學學系 / 90 / The temporal variation of oligotrich ciliates population at a station on the northeasterern coast of Taiwan was invested during the period from October 2000 to September 2001. A clear seasonal cycle was found with 80-100 folds increase in the abundance during the warm seasons. Ciliates abundance in this period showed a bimodal distribution with two peaks, a Rainy Peak and a Typhoon peak. The Rainy Peak was induced by particulate and dissolved organic carbon in the rain water, and the dominant species was small mixotrophic or heterotrophic Strombidium sp. and small heterotrophic Strobilidium sp. In contrast, the typhoon peak was composed of small/middle- sized of Strobidium sp. and large-size Laboea spp.. All these species were apparently mixotrophic. Mixotrophic ciliates usually contribute less 1% to total chlorophyll. Higher contribution of more than 5% occurred only at the peaks of ciliate abundance.
