Abstract

Germination of cysts serves as inoculum for the proliferation of some dinoflagellates, and cyst abundance in sediments represents crucial information to understand and possibly predict Harmful Algae Blooms (HABs). Cyst distribution is related to the physical characteristics of the sediments and the hydrodynamics (circulation) of a particular region. In the northern Gulf of California (nGC) several Gymnodinium catenatum HABs have been recorded. However, the presence of resting cysts and the effect of hydrodynamics on their distribution in the nGC have not been investigated. This study evaluated cyst abundance, distribution and their relation to local circulation in surface sediments during two periods that coincided with a non-bloom year condition (July 2016) and after a major HAB registered in the nGC that occurred in January 2017. Also, a numerical ocean model was implemented to characterize the transport and relocation of cysts and sediments in the region. Gymnodinium catenatum cysts were heterogeneously distributed with some areas of high accumulation (as high as 158 cyst g−1, and 27% of total cyst registered). Cysts seemed to be transported in an eastward direction after deposition and accumulated in an extensive area that probably is the seedbed responsible for the initiation of HABs in the region. The nGC is a retention area of cysts (and sediments) that permit the formation of seedbeds that could be important for G. catenatum HAB development. Our results provide key information to understand G. catenatum ecology and specifically, to understand the geographic and temporal appearance of HABs in the nGC.
