201--211

Two cruises were undertaken in the Pearl River Estuary in November 2011 and March 2012 to analyze the distribution of phytoplankton pigments and to define the relationships of pigment indices and functional community structure with environmental factors. Among 22 pigments, 17 were detected by high-performance liquid chromatography. Chlorophyll a was found in all samples, with a maximum of 7.712 μg L-1 in spring. Fucoxanthin was the most abundant accessory pigment, with mean concentrations of 2.914 μg L-1 and 0.207 μg L-1 in spring and autumn, respectively. Chlorophyll a, chlorophyll c2, fucoxanthin, diadinoxanthin, and diatoxanthin were high in the northern or northwest estuary in spring and in the middle-eastern and northeast estuary in autumn. Chlorophyll b, chlorophyll c3, prasinoxanthin, and peridinin were similarly distributed during the two cruises. Chlorophyll a and fucoxanthin positively correlated with nutrients in spring, whereas 19′-hex-fucoxanthin and 19′-but-fucoxanthin negatively correlated. The biomass proportion of microphytoplankton (BPm) was higher in spring, whereas that of picophytoplankton (BPp) was higher in autumn. BPm in spring was high in areas with salinity <30, but BPp and the biomass proportion of nanophytoplankton (BPn) were high in areas with salinity >30. BPm increased but BPn reduced with the increase in nutrient contents. By comparison, BPp reduced with the increase in nutrient contents in spring, but no relationship was found between BPp and nutrient contents in autumn. The ratios of photosynthetic carotenoids to photoprotective carotenoids in the southern estuary approached unity linear relationship in spring and were under the unity line in autumn.

Changes in the bioaccumulation of 2,2',4,4'-tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47) in the marine alga Heterosigma akashiwo (Raphidophyceae) were examined for different concentrations of nitrate (0, 128, and 512 μmol dm-3) and phosphate (0, 8, and 32 μmol dm-3) in the semi-continuous culture with 20% renewal rate. The BDE-47 content per cell and per culture, as well as the accumulated percentage of available BDE-47, presented a significant decreasing trend with the increase in nitrate and phosphate concentrations. The N-0 (4.0 × 10^-6 ng cell-1) and P-0 (5.8 × 10^-6 ng cell-1) treatments had significantly higher BDE-47 content per cell than other treatments. In comparison, the difference in BDE-47 per algal culture and accumulated percentage between the nitrate treatments or phosphate treatments was not as obvious as the BDE-47 content per cell. BDE-47 per cell presented significantly negative correlation with nitrate and phosphate concentrations, and the accumulated BDE-47 was in positive correlation with lipid content. log BAFlip for BDE-47 in H. akashiwo ranged from 6.70 to 7.25. The results of this study indicate that variation in BDE-47 accumulation by H. akashiwo corresponds to the change in cellular lipid content induced by different nitrate and phosphate concentrations.
