Некоторые данные о фитопланктоне Мексиканского залива и Флоридского пролива // Исследования Центрально-Американских морей. - Киев : Наукова думка, 1966. - Вып. 1. - С. 81-91.https://repository.marine-research.ru/handle/299011/6604As a result of phytoplankton investigations in the Gulf of Mexico and Florida strait 131 alga taxons were found, including: Bacillariophyta — 81, Pyrrophyta — 45, Cyanophyta — 2, Chrysophyta — 1, Xanthophyta — 1, Euglenophyta — 1. The main phytoplankton mass is formed by the blue-green alga Trichodesmium tiebautii Comm. at most stations. Phytoplankton was richest with respect to quality and quantity at shore stations and on the Campeche bank. According to fluorimetric analysis data, the content of dead trichomes of the mass alga Trichodesmium tiebautii increases when the depth rises. The bright red fluorescence of zooxanthellas Radiolaria and Foraminifera, which develop in mass quantities at some stations, testifies to a great role of zooxantellas in producing the organic matter in the sea.ru
