Abstract

This paper analyzed the community structures of phytoplankton in Fushan Bay in June to August 2002. Results showed that phytoplankton in Fushan Bay was dominated by Bacillariophyta and Pyrrophyta, whose species accounted for 74% and 24% of total phytoplankton species, respectively. Chaetoceros and Peridinium were the major genera of Bacillariophyta and Pyrrophyta, accounted for 19% and 44% for Bacillariophyta and Pyrrophyta, respectively. There were something in common between phytoplankton community structures of Fushan Seas, Guangzhou Seas and Hongkong Seas. Firstly, Bacillariophyta and Pyrrophyta were the dominant and subdominant phyla in Seas in different latitude. Secondly, the proportions of the species of Bacillariophyta and Pyrrophyta were consistent in Seas in different latitude. These features were determined by nutrient Silicon.
