Abstract

Modern methodology in analysing the spatial distribution and functional characteristics of plankton combines methods classical for the planktology and methods used in investigation of pelagic zone by the parameters of biophysical (bioluminescent, fluorescent, etc.) fields they produce. The use of real-time information systems is one of the advantages of biophysical methods. It allows evaluation of the correlations between plankton structural features and structure of hydrophysical fields, and ultimately leads to the development of predictive pelagic ecosystem models. Data collected within five marine research cruises were used to analyze seasonal variability of the bioluminescence field of the active layer of the Black Sea. Chlorophyll a concentration variability in the surface waters was analyzed based on the remote sensing data. Correlation coefficients between bioluminescence field parameters and chlorophyll a concentration had opposite signs in different seasons owing to the seasonal changes in the taxonomic structure of the phytoplankton communities.
