Due to the fertilization effect of the upwelling and the increase in primary production, the Rías Baixas sustain an intense shellfishing activity which, every year, faces the menace of harmful phytoplankton blooms. It is believed that the aggregation of phytoplankton in thin layers, where the biomass accumulates in a thickness less than 5 meters, might explain why traditional monitoring programs, with insufficient vertical resolution, are often unable to detect and predict toxic events. Preliminary studies indicate that the formation of these features is associated with strictly physical or biological processes, or a combination of both. Despite their relevance, nowadays, the knowledge about thin layers in this region is limited to a couple of specific observations. In order to verify the following hypotheses: H1) Pseudo-nitzschia spp. and Dinophysis spp. frequently bloom in thin layers in the Rías Baixas, and H2) Physical processes related to shear and turbulence levels control the formation of thin layers of Pseudo-nitzschia spp., this project proposes a multidisciplinary approach which combines database analysis, field observations carried out during the REMEDIOS-TLP cruise (Jun-Jul 2018), and numerical modeling techniques. Specifically, the following objectives are proposed: O1) To describe the characteristics of thin layers of phytoplankton, with special interest in Pseudo-nitzschia spp., in the Rías Baixas and adjacent shelf, and O2) To investigate the mechanisms responsible for the initiation, maintenance and dissipation of thin layers of phytoplankton., Debido á elevada produción primaria asociada ao alforamento, as Rías Baixas sosteñen unha intensa actividade marisqueira que, cada ano é ameazada pola aparición de toxinas de orixe fitoplanctónica. Crese que a agregación de fitoplancto en estruturas de capas finas, donde a maior parte da biomasa acumúlase nun espesor <5m, podería explicar que os sistemas tradicionais de mostraxe, con insuficiente resolución vertical, frecuentemente non sexan capaces de detectar e predicir os eventos de toxicidade. Estudios previos indican que a formación de estas estruturas está asociada a procesos estritamente físicos, biolóxicos ou unha combinación de ambos. A pesar da súa relevancia, polo momento o coñecemento de estas estruturas na rexión limítase a un par de observacións puntuais. Co fin de verificar as seguintes hipóteses: H1) Nas Rías Baixas Pseudo-nitzschia spp. e Dinophysis spp. frecuentemente proliferan en forma de capas finas, H2) Os procesos físicos relacionados cos niveles de cizalla e turbulencia controlan a formación de capas finas de Pseudo-nitzschia spp., este proxecto propón una aproximación multidisciplinar que combinará análise de bases de datos, observacións de campo realizadas durante a campaña REMEDIOS-TLP (Xuño-Xullo 2018), e modelado numérico. En concreto, propóñense os seguintes obxectivos: O1) Describir as características das capas finas de fitoplancto, con especial interese en Pseudo-nitzschia spp., nas Rías Baixas e plataforma adxacente, e O2) Investigar os mecanismos responsables da formación, mantemento e disipación das capas finas de fitoplancto., Debido a la elevada producción primaria asociada al afloramiento, las Rías Baixas sostienen una intensa actividad marisquera que, cada año, se ve amenazada por la aparición de toxinas de origen fitoplanctónico.

Financiado para publicación en acceso aberto: Universidade de Vigo/CISUG, Because of the difficulties in tracking a water mass over time and conducting synoptic surveys over large spatial scales, measurements of biological variables in the ocean are often restricted to isolated Eulerian observations. Here a proof-of-concept of a pseudo-Lagrangian transformation was applied to a time series of chlorophyll-a profiles acquired at a single fixed station to diagnose the shape of a phytoplankton patch, and its physical-biological rates of transformation. During August 2013, a 27-hr time series of observations of horizontal currents, hydrographic properties, turbulent mixing and chlorophyll-a was acquired at a central station of the Ría de Vigo (NW Iberian Peninsula). A chlorophyll-a patch, tilted upward toward the inner part of the Ría, was observed moving back and forth past the sampling station. Its shape and position during the sampling period were modulated by the semi-diurnal (M2) tidal currents and the vertically sheared upwelling circulation. The pseudo-Lagrangian transformation allowed estimation of chlorophyll-a net rates of change. These rates were positive between 12 and 14 m depth, and negative elsewhere, with a mean value of −0.001 ± 0.449 days−1 within the patch maximum. After accounting for the effects of diffusion and sinking, the mean net biological production rate in the upper 15 m (0.53 ± 0.25 days−1) was comparable with in vitro estimates of the balance between phytoplankton growth and mortality obtained from dilution experiments carried out under similar conditions (0.2 ± 0.7 days−1). This pseudo-Lagrangian transformation is complementary to traditional analyses for the quantification of ecological processes and biogeochemical budgets., Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad | Ref.

Bays are often ecological hotspots within highly-productive eastern boundary upwelling systems. Though the physics of such bays are well understood, there is no consensus about the factors underlying their high productivity. Three weeks of high-temporal-resolution observations in two long, narrow bays (Rías Baixas, NW-Iberia), showed that during an upwelling pulse, deep, nutrient-rich isopycnals rose into the euphotic zone inside the rías in a few hours. The response of the isopycnals to changes in wind forcing is approximately three times faster inside the rías than the Ekman spin-up time, triggering rapid nutrient uptake and subsequent formation of a subsurface chlorophyll and production maximum. The tight coupling and rapid response of phytoplankton growth to wind forcing could explain the higher productivity of the rías, and also be at play in other upwelling bays with similar morphologies and orientations. Resolving short-term variability of physical–biological coupling is crucial to discern the future evolution of upwelling bays., Xunta de Galicia | Ref.

17 pages, 7 figures, 1 table.-- This is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY), Previous studies focused on understanding the role of physical drivers on phytoplankton bloom formation mainly used indirect estimates of turbulent mixing. Here we use weekly observations of microstructure turbulence, dissolved inorganic nutrients, chlorophyll a concentration and primary production carried out in the Ría de Vigo (NW Iberian upwelling system) between March 2017 and May 2018 to investigate the relationship between turbulent mixing and phytoplankton growth at different temporal scales. In order to interpret our results, we used the theoretical framework described by the Critical Turbulent Hypothesis (CTH). According to this conceptual model if turbulence is low enough, the depth of the layer where mixing is active can be shallower than the mixed-layer depth, and phytoplankton may receive enough light to bloom. Our results showed that the coupling between turbulent mixing and phytoplankton growth in this system occurs at seasonal, but also at shorter time scales. In agreement with the CTH, higher phytoplankton growth rates were observed when mixing was low during spring-summer transitional and upwelling periods, whereas low values were described during periods of high mixing (fall-winter transitional and downwelling). However, low mixing conditions were not enough to ensure phytoplankton growth, as low phytoplankton growth was also found under these circumstances. Wavelet spectral analysis revealed that turbulent mixing and phytoplankton growth were also related at shorter time scales. The higher coherence between both variables was found in spring-summer at the ~16–30 d period and in fall-winter at the ~16–90 d period. These results suggest that mixing could act as a control factor on phytoplankton growth over the seasonal cycle, and could be also involved in the formation of occasional short-lived phytoplankton blooms, This research was supported by grant CTM2016-75451-C2-1-R from the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness to BM-C.

6 pages, 4 figures, Small-scale turbulent mixing plays a pivotal role in shaping ocean circulation and a broad range of physical and biogeochemical processes. Despite advances in our understanding of the geophysical processes responsible for this mixing, the nature and importance of biomixing—turbulent mixing caused by marine biota—are still debated. A major source of uncertainty pertains to the efficiency of biomixing (the fraction of the turbulent energy produced through swimming that is spent in mixing the ocean vertically), which the few in situ observations available suggest to be much lower than that of geophysical turbulence. Here we shed light on this problem by analysing 14 days of continuous measurements of centimetre-scale turbulence in an area of coastal upwelling. We show that turbulent dissipation is elevated 10- to 100-fold (reaching 10−6–10−5 W kg−1) every night of the survey due to the swimming activity of large aggregations of anchovies that gather regularly over the spawning season. Turbulent mixing is invigorated concurrently with dissipation, and occurs with an efficiency comparable to that of geophysical turbulence. Our results demonstrate that biologically driven turbulence can be a highly effective mixing agent, and call for a re-examination of its impacts on productive upper ocean regions, Funding for this work was provided by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Innovation under the research project REMEDIOS (grant number CTM2016-75451-C2-1-R) to B.M.-C.

Despite theoretical expectations, marine microeukaryote population are often highly structured and the mechanisms behind such patterns remain to be elucidated. These organisms display huge census population sizes, yet genotyping usually requires clonal strains originating from single cells, hindering proper population sampling. Estimating allelic frequency directly from population wide samples, without any isolation step, offers an interesting alternative. Here, we validate the use of meta-transcriptome environmental samples to determine the population genetic structure of the dinoflagellate Alexandrium minutum. Strain and meta-transcriptome based results both indicated a strong genetic structure for A. minutum in Western Europe, to the level expected between cryptic species. The presence of numerous private alleles, and even fixed polymorphism, would indicate ancient divergence and absence of gene flow between populations. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) displaying strong allele frequency differences were distributed throughout the genome, which might indicate pervasive selection from standing genetic variation (soft selective sweeps). However, a few genomic regions displayed extremely low diversity that could result from the fixation of adaptive de novo mutations (hard selective sweeps) within the populations., The study was funded by PRIMROSE (EC Interreg Atlantic Area EAPA182/2016) and the Brittany Region as part of the Paleoecology of Alexandrium minutum dans la Rade de Brest–Marché n°2017-90292 project PALMIRA.

22 pages.-- Open Access, Bays within eastern boundary upwelling systems (EBUS) are ecological hot-spots featuring a diverse range of spatio-temporal dynamics. At the EBUSs’ poleward limit, upwelling occurs in short-lived (<1 week) pulses modulated by synoptic wind variability. The circulations in long, narrow bays can respond to these fluctuations within few hours. The short-term biological response to these pulses was investigated in two of these bays (Rias Baixas, NW-Iberia) with a two-week quasi-synoptic spatio-temporal survey in the summer 2018. A four-day-long upwelling pulse caused deep, nutrient-rich isopycnals to rise into the euphotic zone inside the bays, triggering a rapid (~1.7 days) nutrient uptake and formation of a subsurface chlorophyll maximum (~3.8 days). The phytoplankton biomass was transported rapidly toward deep, offshore waters when the winds weakened. These results suggest that high productivity in narrow bays is controlled by the transient exposure of deep, nutrient-rich waters to light during upwelling pulses, Regional Government of Galicia, Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, H2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, No
