Description 58-66
Phytoplankton bloom occurred during the
period of June 2011 pre monsoon in Andaman waters. Total four classes of bloom
are identified as such as; Bacillariophyceae (Diatom), Dinophyceae
(Dinoflagellate), Cyanophyceae (Cyanobacteria or Blue-green algae) and
Phaeocystales. Phaeocystis spp. were
observed with following seawater physio-chemical parameters between surface to
15 m depth. Numerous anthropogenic activities such as eutrophication caused by
water discharge in this region and high nutrient enrichment in the water
column, as well as effects from precipitation, upwelling and wind stress, could
have favoured the outbreak of this Phaeocystis
spp. Due to the physio-chemical parameters which are induced by climate changes
may be the reasons for phytoplankton blooms in the coastal waters of north
Andaman regions. As per the review of algal blooms off India28
suggested that till date, nowhere in Indian coastal stretch noticed the bloom
of Phaeocystis.
