Some Data of Phytoplankton of the Gulf of Mexico and Florida Strait
As 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.
