The paper presents the results of research into the pigment composition of seawater samples taken from various depths in the Gulf of Gdańsk in April and September 1999. Pigments were separated by RP–HPLC, and identification was confirmed by co-injection with reference standards and on-line diode array spectra. The following groups of pigments were identified: chlorophylls: a, b, c1 + c2; photosynthetic carotenoids (PSC) – peridinin, fucoxanthin, α-carotene; photoprotecting carotenoids (PPC) – diadinoxanthin, alloxanthin, zeaxanthin, lutein, neoxanthin, violaxanthin and β-carotene. Quantitative and qualitative diversity in pigment characteristics were observed in both seasons, though lutein and α-carotene were not identified in the September samples. The respective April and September concentrations of the functional groups of pigments were: total chlorophylls content 0.47–104.25 and 0.57–13.66 μg dm−3; PSC 0.07–21.23 and 0.02–1.56 μg dm−3; PPC 0.05–14.08 and 0.04–1.79 μg dm−3. Within the PSC group, peridinin and fucoxanthin were dominant in the April samples, but only fucoxanthin in the September ones. Among the PPCs, diadinoxanthin and alloxanthin were dominant in April, zeaxanthin in September. Photosynthetic and photoprotecting carotenoids display a linear correlation with chlorophyll a content in all the samples.
The concentration of chlorophylls and carotenoids with respect to communities of characteristic phytoplankton species and hydrological parameters, such as temperature, salinity and nutrients were analysed. Samples from the southern Baltic were taken during three periods: spring 1999, autumn 1999 and 2000 during cruises of r/v ‘Oceania’ in this area. The seasonal differences between the phytoplankton species composition and pigmentation of samples (measured by HPLC) were noted. The total biomass of the spring phytoplankton population was 11–15 times greater than that of the autumn populations. However, the phytoplankton community was more diverse in the two autumns, whereas the spring population was almost mono-taxonomic: >80% of the total biomass consisted of dinophytes. The total content of chlorophylls (a, b, c1 + c2) was about 20 times higher in spring. Moreover, in spring the concentrations of photosynthetic carotenoids (with dominant perdinin) were 2–4 times higher than those of the photoprotecting carotenoids (with dominant diadinoxanthin), whereas in the two autumns the situation was reversed: PPC concentrations (with dominant zeaxanthin and diadinoxanthin) exceeded those of PSC (with dominant fucoxanthin) by c. 3–10 times. Pigment markers have proved to be extremely useful biomarkers for elucidating the composition of phytoplankton populations in natural samples.
