Abstract

Abstract

Photosynthetic pigments are routinely used as biomarkers for various phytoplankton taxa in"class"level. Vertical distributions of photosynthetic pigments from 5 stations in the warm pool were studied during China’s DY20 and DY21 cruises in the western equatorial Pacific. Phytoplankton community structure was discussed using pigment signals and the matrix factorization program CHEMTAX. In the nutrients-depleted warm pool, the concentrations of zeaxanthin (Zea) and divinyl chlorophyll a(DV Chl a) were correlated with chlorophyll a concentration,and phytoplankton community was characterized by high contribution of cyanobacteria, prochlorophytes and haptophytes. Besides, cyanobacteria and prochlorophytes occupied different depths of the euphotic zone,and haptophytes was the dominant algae in nutrient enrichment subsurface water.
