Phytoplankton Ecology in the Upper Swan River Estuary, Western Australia - Species composition and distribution patterns
Australian Ocean Data Network (AODN)This study correlated temporal and depth differences in phytoplankton species distribution with various physical and chemical parameters in the upper Swan River Estuary between November 1995 and May 1999, with the aim of identifying environmental or…

Phytoplankton Ecology in the Upper Swan River Estuary, Western Australia - Microheterotroph grazers and their impact on phytoplankton biomass
Australian Ocean Data Network (AODN)Species composition trends for the microheterotrophic grazing community (<300 um) over an annual period (1998-1999) were determined for the upper Swan River estuary. Also differences in grazing rates, monthly over an annual cycle and changes in grazing…

Phytoplankton Ecology in the Upper Swan River Estuary, Western Australia - Summary
Australian Ocean Data Network (AODN)The aim of the study was to determine the extent to which phytoplankton population in the upper Swan River Estuary, W.A. (see thumbnail) are controlled by physico-chemical parameters (bottom-up) or biological (top-down) factors through water samples taken from…

Phytoplankton Ecology in the Upper Swan River Estuary, Western Australia - Nitrogen uptake for inorganic and organic nitrogen sources
Australian Ocean Data Network (AODN)The main aim of this study was to detemine seasonal uptake kinetics for the different nitrogen species; two inorganic sources (NO3- and NH4+), and an organic source (urea) in the upper Swan River estuary from November 1997 to November 1998. Uptake kinetics…

Phytoplankton Ecology in the Upper Swan River Estuary, Western Australia - Seasonal nitrogen uptake rates and preferential uptake of inorganic and organic nitrogen and comparison of C:N ratios
Australian Ocean Data Network (AODN)The major aim of the study was to determine monthly and seasonal nitrogen uptake by phytoplankton communities of the three nitrogen species NO3-, NH4+ and urea from 1998 to 1999 at the Ron Courtney Island site, representing "new" inorganic-based production,…

Phytoplankton Ecology in the Upper Swan River Estuary, Western Australia - A comparison of nitrogen uptake by seasonal bloom assemblages
Australian Ocean Data Network (AODN)Maximum nitrogen uptake rates (Vmax) and preferential nitrogen sources were determined for the different major bloom types between November 1995 and May 1996 in the upper Swan River Estuary. These uptake rates and preferences were related to the pattern of…
