Abstract

Phytoplankton species diversity was generally high throughout the year at two stations in the central Red Sea Lat 21°30′N and species of Mediterranean and Indian Ocean origin were represented reflecting seasonal monsoonal influence Low phytoplankton cell numbers accompanying high production rates suggest the significance of nanoplankton or picoplankton which were not enumerated Production was high yearround and averaged 390 gC m2 yr1 despite the virtual lack of nutrient additions from rainfall or land runoff or demonstrable upwelling Highest nutrient levels followed the first seasonal peak of production Biomass and production were seasonally bi or trimodal with major peaks in December–February and June–August 1977–1978 The first peak of production populated by diatoms occurred at the onset of seasonal stratification but the second peak populated by Trichodesmium spp occurred at the height of seasonal stratification and lowest nutrient concentrations There is no clear relationship between the timing of monsoon activity and the annual production cycle
