Brief description

Temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, irradiance, ammonium, nitrate, total nitrogen, phosphate, total phosphorus, silica, gilvin, chlorophyll a and phytoplankton samples were collected to document the spatial and temporal variation in phytoplankton dynamics in relation to seasonal changes Wilson Inlet.

Statement: Seven study sites were chosen from existing water quality monitoring sites, which have been tested weekly by the local management authority since 1995. Sites 1, 2, 3 and 4 were distributed in the western basin nearest the ocean and sites 5, 6 and 7 were in the eastern basin (see Fig. 2.1 in thesis). The present data were collected from January 1995 to September 1999. water quality sampling of physical and chemical variables was conducted on a weekly basis, except during winter (June, July, August) when sampling was fortnightly. Temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen concentration were measured with a Hydrolab H2O multiprobe (Hydrolab Corporation, Austin Texas, USA) at 0.5 m intervals from the surface to the bottom of the water column. Irradiance through the water column was measured with a 30 cm Secchi disk. Water samples for chemical analyses were collected from the surface and bottom using a submersible pump assembly. Samples collected for dissolved nutrient analyses were immediately filtered through 0.45 um cellulose nitrite membrane (Whatman). Samples were stored <4 degrees Celsius and were analysed by the Australian Environmental Laboratories (Welshpool, Perth) for ammonium, nitrate, total nitrogen, phosphate, total phosphorus, silica and gilvin. For further methods see section 2.3.3, 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 of the thesis
