摘要： Western Subarctic Gyre (WSG), which possesses distinctive differences in oceanographic and biogeochemical processes, is situated in the northwest subarctic Pacific. The WSG is characterized by high nutrient and low chlorophyll. We carried out a field investigation in this area in summer 2020 and performed microscopic observation, cytometric counting, and RuBisCO large subunit (rbcL) gene analysis to understand the community structure and spatial distribution of chromophytic phytoplankton better. Microscopic method revealed that total phytoplankton (>10 & mu;m, including Bacillariophyta, Dinoflagellata, Ochrophyta, and Chlorophyta) abundances ranged (0.6x10(3)) - (167.4x10(3)) cells/L with an increasing trend from south to north. Dinoflagellates and Pennatae diatoms dominated the phytoplankton assemblages in the southern and northern stations, respectively. Major chromophytic phytoplankton groups derived from rbcL genes included Haptophyta, Ochrophyta, Bacillariophyta, as well as rarely occurring groups, such as Xanthophyta, Cyanobacteria, Dinoflagellata, Rhodophyta, and Cryptophyta. At the phylum level, Haptophyta was the most abundant phylum, accounting for approximately 30.80% of the total obtained operational taxonomic units in all samples. Ochrophyta and Bacillariophyta were the second and third most abundant phylum, and their relative abundance was 20.26% and 19.60%, respectively. Further, redundancy analysis showed that high proportion of diatoms (e.g., microscopic and rbcL methods) was positively correlated with nutrients (e.g., dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), dissolved inorganic phosphorous, and dissolved silicate (DSi)) and negatively correlated with temperature and salinity. The proportion of Ochrophyta, Rhodophyta, and Cyanobateria identified by rbcL genes was positively correlated with salinity and temperature and showed negative correlation to nutrients. This work is the first molecular study of phytoplankton accomplished in the WSG, and our results show some discrepancies between morphological observation and rbcL gene sequences, which highlight the necessity of combining the microscopic and molecular methods to reveal the diversity of phytoplankton in marine environment.
