Aquafin CRC Salmon Project - Process Study 4 - Water Column Spatial Survey - Port Esperance - November 2007

Process Study 4 was undertaken in Port Esperance on 01 November 2007. During the spatial survey samples were collected from eight sites for the analysis of nutrients, phytoplankton species identification, chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments and the absorption coefficient for the dissolved (CDOM) component of the water column. Three depths were sampled (0, 3 and 2 m from the bottom) for the nutrient analyses, a surface sample was collected for the CDOM analysis and a 12 m integrated water column sample was collected for the pigment analysis and phytoplankton species identification. At each site prior to the collection of the samples a CTD profile to near bottom was collected and the Secchi depth measured. A further sample was collected, using a bucket, from near the bridge at Port Esperance and analysed for salinity, CDOM absorption and nutrient concentration. PLEASE NOTE - The phytoplankton results were updated in June 2012 with a correction. The original biovolume unit in column L and M was incorrect and should have been µL/L. The values in column M and L have been divided by 1000 and the unit mL/L left unchanged. Other values are not affected including CPL and Group CPL.
