Whole community estimates of macroalgal pigment concentration within two southern New Zealand kelp forests1.

Abstract:

:Light availability is a fundamental factor that controls the productivity and distribution of macroalgae and is highly variable, both spatially and temporally, in subtidal coastal systems. Our comprehension of how macroalgae respond to such variability is a significant knowledge gap that limits our understanding of how light influences the structure and productivity of these environments. Here, we examined the pigment characteristics of individual species, and for the first time the whole community, within one low-light, and one high-light kelp-forest system in southern New Zealand. The aim was to quantify the range of pigmentation seen within the two kelp-forests which differed in irradiance regime. Light availability was 33% and 64% greater at the high-light compared to the low-light site at 2 and 10 m depth, respectively. Results suggested Phaeophyceae species at deeper depths in the low-light site may be living at the edge of their photosynthetic ability and pigment synthesis appeared significantly restricted. Even with greater investment in the pigment fucoxanthin, biomass of Phaeophyceae species was significantly lower in the low-light site. Highly pigmented Rhodophyceae species made a greater proportional contribution to community biomass within the low-light site where they likely possessed a photosynthetic advantage. This work helps explain discrepancies in community structure between the two study sites and explores the complex relationship between irradiance and photoacclimation. The comparison of community pigment concentration holds potential as a tool for assessing the relative degree of photoacclimation occurring between sites and provides a proxy of photosynthetic cost under a specific light regime.
