- Abstract
The material was obtained on July 18–24, 2016 in the area comprising the Ob River estuary and the adjacent shelf of the Kara Sea (71°28.3′–74°38.8′ N). Euglena sp. bloom (class Euglenophyceae, order Euglenales), unique for estuarine regions of large Siberian rivers and the Arctic shelf, is described and quantitatively characterized. Bloom was clearly confined to the outer wide part of the Ob River estuary. In the areas of maximum abundance of Euglena sp., its average population density reached 2.9 × 106 cells/L in the water column; this species accounted for more than 80% of the total phytoplankton abundance; the share of spores in total abundance did not exceed 2.5%. The shallow shelf adjacent to the Ob River estuary was the area of Euglena sp. removal, as evidenced by a more than fourfold decrease in the abundance of this species and the predominance of spores in the population (75–98%). Euglena sp. bloom was associated exclusively with the outer part of the Ob River estuary. The dominance of this species in the phytoplankton community of this area made it possible to report for the first time on the presence of a specific quantitatively rich phytocoenose, developing under certain conditions and confined to the estuary of a large Arctic river.
