摘要

Extraordinary spring blooms of the dinoflagellate Prorocentrum minimum have been a recurring feature of upper Chesapeake Bay for many years. Though not thought to be toxic in Chesapeake Bay, these blooms produce extraordinarily high concentrations of chlorophyll, thereby increasing light attenuation. A particularly large event occurred in the spring of 2000. Here, we assess the impact of the spring 2000 P. minimum bloom on habitat quality for submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) in the mesohaline region of Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries, We determined the light absorption and scattering spectrum of P. minimum on a per cell basis by analyzing inherent optical properties of natural samples from the Rhode River, Maryland, which were overwhelmingly dominated by P. minimum. Using these per cell properties, we constructed a model of light penetration incorporating observed cell counts of P. minimum to predict the impact of the bloom on other tributaries and main stem locations that experienced the bloom. Model estimates of diffuse attenuation coefficients agreed well with the limited measurements that were available. Impacts of the mahogany tide on diffuse attenuation coefficient ranged from negligible (10-30% increase above the seasonal median in the Patapsco and Magothy rivers), to a greater than six-fold increase (Potomac River). Attenuation coefficients in tributaries to the north and south of the bloom region either decreased or were unchanged relative to seasonal medians. Segments with SAV losses in 2000 were mostly the same as those that experienced the P. minimum bloom. Segments north and south of the bloom area mostly had SAV increases in 2000. Though all of the segments that experienced a decline in SAV area after the spring 2000 bloom showed an increase in 2002, the 2000 setback interrupted what otherwise has been a slow recovery in mid-Bay SAV, demonstrating the adverse impact of P. minimum blooms on SAV populations in Chesapeake Bay.
