Sažetak
Phytoplankton community diversity was studied during stratification period at one station in the southern side of island Lastovo (Cape Struga). Phytoplankton was sampled every 12h from 13th - 21st July 2021 with Niskin bottles. Samples were analyzed (n=59) by Utermöhl method on inverted light microscope Zeiss Axiowert 200. A total of 95 taxa has been determined, of which: 58 diatoms, 27 dinoflagellates, 6 coccolithophores, and 4 other autotrophs which included chlorophyceae, chrysophyceae and cryptophytes. The microphytoplankton community was dominated by diatoms (37.03%), and dinoflagellates (3.3%) and coccolithophores (0.57%) contribuded less. Nanophytoplankton was comprised by dinoflagellates (38.31%), coccolithopores (6.92%) and other autotrophs (14.35%). Dominant species, defined as species or groups with abundance >500 cells L-1, and the frequency of occurrence in samples >40 %, were Cylindrotheca closterium, Guinardia flaccida, G. striata, Gyrodinium fusiforme, Hemiaulus chinensis, Leptocylindrus danicus, Proboscia alata, Pseudo- nitzschia delicatissima, Rhizosolenia imbricata, Scrippsiella sp., and Thalassionema frauenfeldii. Maximal recorded cell abundance was 1.3 x105 cells L-1, and species richness 10.22. Pielou’s evenness (J’=0.58) indicates phytoplankton species not evenly distributed in the community, which can be explained by overall higher nanophytoplankton abundances. Shannon-Weiner (H’) is 2.67, and Simpson diversity index (1- ​λ') is 0.84, showing community does not have high diversity.
