Spatio-temporal Variability of Dinoflagellates in Different Salinity Regimes in the Coast of Rakhine

摘要

Regarding the spatial and seasonal variations of dinoflagellates in different salinities regimes,Prorocentrum rostratum showed a strong correlation with high salinity(≥29 ppt.).However,P.micans had a negative correlation with salinity.In Dinophysoids,Dinophysis caudata showed a wide salinity tolerance than other species in the group.D.miles,Ornithocercus magnificus,O.steinii,and O.thumii showed a strong correlation with salinity.In Gonyaulacoids,Ceratium furca,C.fusus,C.horridum,C.trichoceros,C.tripos,Gonyaulax polygramma,G.spinifera,and Pyrophacus magnificus showed a strong correlation with salinity.In Peridinoids,Protoperidinium depressum,P.oblongum,P.oceanicum,P.pyreforme,and Podolampus palmipes showed a strong correlation with salinity.In Gymnodinoid and Noctilucoid,Gyrodinium estuariale and N.scintillans showed a strong correlation with salinity.
