The annual cycle of Mesodinium rubrum in the waters surrounding the Isles of Shoals, Gulf of Maine

D.J.S. Montagnes and D.H. Lynn

Department of Zoology, University of Guelph Guelph, Ontario, Canada N1G 2W1

Received on August 3, 1988; accepted on October 23, 1988 Mesodinium rubrum was collected in Kemmerer bottles, fixed in Bouin's solution and protargol stained. Cell volume showed a seasonal change of over an order of magnitude, being largest (3.25x104 µm3) in the early spring and smallest in the summer. Cell abundance was highest in the spring and lowest in the summer. Biomass followed a similar trend ranging from {small tilde}1 to 147 J m–3 Production, estimated by a multiple regression that incorporated ambient temperature and cell volume, was 2.5 kJ m–3 day–1 This is {small tilde}0.3% of the primary production.
