Variações sazonais das associações de foarminíferos e ostracodos da Plataforma Continental Algarvia: avaliação da influência do upwelling costeiro

Abstract

In this work, developed under the project POPEI (supported by Foundation for Science and Technology - FCT), two sediment sampling campaigns took place, in the winter and summer of 2008, at the Algarve continental shelf. The sediment samples were collected in nine stations and a total of eighteen samples (nine for season) were obtained. After picking and taxonomic identification, 8,369 benthic foraminifera were distributed by 98 species (41 genera) and 3,649 ostracods were distributed by 76 species (46 genera). In the case of benthic foraminifera, three assemblages were identified. In Assemblage 1 (stations 1, 8) the dominant species are B. ordinaria and B. spathulata; the species A. cf. mamilla, B. gibba, C. laevigata, C. obtusa, C. cf. pseudoungerianus, E. gerthi, E. vitrea and N. fabum also define this assemblage. The Assemblage 2 (stations 3, 5, 6, 9) presents B. ordinaria and B. spathulata as dominant species, but is distinguished from Assemblage 1 by the presence of B. marginata and B. subaenariensis, as common or accessory species. In Assemblage 3 (stations 12, 13, 14) the most abundant species are B. ordinaria, B. spathulata, C. obtusa and C. cf. pseudoungerianus, distinguishing itself from Assemblages 1 and 2 by the presence of the genera Dentalina, Fissurina and Lagena. Three Ostracod assemblages were defined. In Assemblage 1 (stations 1, 3, 5, 6, 8) the dominant specie is C. runcinata, also being common the species P. jonesi, R. rectangularis and P. guttata. The Assemblage 2 (station 9) is characterized by the presence of abundant H. sarsi, associated with other species of greater depth. The Assemblage 3 (stations 12, 13, 14) is identified by the usual deep marine environment species, associated with coastal and sub-littoral species. The east area of the Portimão Canyon presents high productivity, favorable to the development of microfauna in a low hydrodynamic environment, without apparent upwelling influence. West of the Portimão Canyon, the high values of Total Inorganic Carbon (TIC) and Total Organic Carbon (TOC), and the great diversity of benthic foraminifera and ostracods (many of them reworked) indicates an area of high productivity and higher hydrodynamics, and under an upwelling influence.

Neste trabalho, realizado no âmbito do projecto POPEI (FCT), foram feitas duas campanhas de amostragem de sedimentos na plataforma algarvia (Inverno e Verão 2008). As amostras foram colhidas em nove estações, num total de dezoito amostras (nove em cada época do ano). Triaram-se e identifica-ram-se taxonomicamente 8.369 foraminíferos distribuídos por 98 espécies (41 géneros) e 3.649 ostraco-dos distribuídos por 76 espécies (46 géneros). No caso dos Foraminíferos estabeleceram-se três associações. Na Associação 1 (estações 1, 8) as espécies dominantes são B. ordinaria e B. spathulata; as espécies A. cf. mamilla, B. gibba, C. laevigata, C. obtusa, C. cf. pseudoungerianus, E. gerthi, E. vitrea e N. fabum definem também esta associação. A Asso-ciação 2 (estações 3, 5, 6, 9) apresenta B. ordinaria e B. spathulata como espécies dominantes, mas dis-tingue-se da Associação 1 pela presença de B. marginata e B. subaenariensis como espécies comuns ou acessórias. Na Associação 3 (estações 12, 13, 14) as espécies mais abundantes são B. ordinaria, B. spathu-lata, C. obtusa e C. cf. pseudoungerianus, distinguindo-se da Associação 1 e 2 pela presença dos géneros Dentalina, Fissurina e Lagena. Foram definidas três associações de Ostracodos. Na Associação 1 (estações 1, 3, 5, 6, 8) a espécie dominante é C. runcinata, sendo também comuns as espécies P. jonesi, R. rectangularis e P. guttata. A Associação 2 (estação 9) é caracterizada pela presença abundante de H. sarsi, associada a outras espécies de maior profundidade e às espécies comuns da Associação 1. A Associação 3 (estações 12, 13, 14) é constituída pelas habituais espécies de ambiente marinho profundo associadas a espécies litorais e sub-litorais. A zona a este do Canhão de Portimão apresenta elevada produtividade, favorável ao desenvolvi-mento de microfaunas em meio de baixo hidrodinamismo, sem aparente influência do upwelling. A oeste do Canhão de Portimão, os elevados valores de CIT e COT e a grande diversidade de foraminíferos e os-tracodos, muitos remobilizados, indicam uma zona de alta produtividade e maior hidrodinamismo, sob influência do upwelling.
