Описание плана выполнения исследований The research tasks within this project were carried out by researchers from the National Institute of Marine Sciences and Technologies (INSTM). The team was responsible for field sampling, environmental monitoring, phytoplankton identification, and data analysis. Activities included the collection of plankton samples, laboratory identification of phytoplankton taxa, and the evaluation of environmental conditions related to the potential farming of the mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis and Perna perna off the coast of Monastir (Tunisia).

Методы сбора

This study was conducted at a sea bream and sea bass aquaculture farm (35°45.902′ N, 10°55.548′ E) located in Monastir Bay near the Monastir-Kuriates Islands, approximately 15 km from the Tunisian Mediterranean coast, at a water depth of 28 m. The farm has been in operation since 2008. Sampling was carried out at four stations in the offshore waters of Monastir (Tunisia, Mediterranean Sea). Stations S1, S2, and S3 were located within the aquaculture farm, whereas station S4 was situated outside the farm and served as a control site. Sampling was conducted seasonally from February to October 2018. Seawater samples were collected using a 5-L Niskin bottle at three depths (0 m, 15 m, and 25 m). The collected samples were preserved and transported to the laboratory for phytoplankton identification and physicochemical analyses.

Охват исследования The study was conducted in the offshore fish farm in Monastir, Tunisia (Mediterranean Sea) from February to October 2018. The project focused on phytoplankton taxa .Water samples were collected with a 5-L Niskin bottle.
Контроль качества Water samples (1 L) to be used for phytoplankton enumeration were preserved with formol solution (3‰) and stored in the dark at 4 °C.Water samples for nutrient analyses (60 mL) were collected and preserved immediately at − 20 °C in the dark. Water samples for suspended matter analysis were filtered by vacuum filtration through Whatman GF/C glass fiber filters, and the filters were immediately stored at − 20 °C.

Описание этапа методики:

  1. Seawater temperature and dissolved oxygen (DO) were measured directly in situ using an electronic thermometer (LUTRON®BC-4308) and a DO meter (PCE®-WO2 10), respectively. To determine the concentration of SM, 1.5 liters of seawater was collected and filtered on pre-weighed GF/C 0.45 µm filters (WHATMAN®). Subsequently, filters were dried in an oven at 100 ◦C for 24 h and total SM weight (mg L-1) was estimated according to the differential weighing method of Aminot and Chaussepied (1983). Transparency of the water (in meters) was measured using a Secchi Disk as described by Testa et al. (2019). Nutrients (i.e., NO2−, NO3−, NH4+, PO43−, and Si(OH)4) were analyzed with a Bran+Luebbe type 3 auto-analyzer and concentrations were determined colorimetrically, using a UV-visible (6400/6405) spectrophotometer. For Chlorophyll a (Chl a), two liters of seawater were filtered, through 200–250 µm pore size membrane filters to remove large particulate matter and zooplankton. The eluate was filtrated on GF/C 0.45 µm filters (WHATMAN®). Chl a was extracted with 10 ml of acetone 90% for 24 hours at 4 ◦C then the absorbance at two wavelengths (665 µm and 750 µm) were determined before and after acidification using 100 µl of HCL 0.3 M according to Aminot and Chaussepied, (1983). The identification and enumeration of phytoplankton (including dinoflagellate cysts) and the estimate of abundance of the different algal groups were made using an inverse phase microscope based on the Utermohl (1931) and Sournia (1987) methods. The identification of the various phytoplankton taxa was achieved through the determination keys of Trégouboff and Rose (1957), Huber-Pestalozzi (1968) and Balech (1988). Phytoplankton density (expressed in cells l-1) is determined using the following formula: N = (n*1000)/V N: Total number of phytoplankton cells contained in one liter n: number of cells V: Volume of sedimentation cuve (ml)
