Abstract
The eastern Sakhalin Island shelf is the area of high biological production. Its key peculiarity is the presence of a feeding area for the Okhotsk–Korean population of gray whales. We aimed at determining the features of the formation of primary production in this area; thereby, on 7–9 July, 2016, hydrochemical studies on the northeastern Sakhalin Island shelf were carried out. At each station, water was sampled from surface and near-bottom layers; then, concentrations of chlorophyll a, nitrates, and phosphates were measured. Moreover, at each station, depth profiling was conducted by a Sea-Bird SBE 19plus and a Rinko-Profiler. Those profilers were equipped with sensors for pressure, temperature, electrical conductivity, chlorophyll fluorescence, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and photosynthetically active radiation. Assimilation number for phytoplankton was measured in situ by ARO1-USB Rinko dissolved oxygen sensors (JFE Advantech Co., Ltd.). Phytoplankton primary production in the photic layer was determined by the light model based on the representation of the photosynthetic light-response curve in the modified model of the non-rectangular hyperbola. Most intensively, the primary production occurred in the area affected by the Amur River. In the photic layer, the values of integral primary production varied within 1.57–11.17 g C·m−2·day−1. The distribution area of the modified highly productive water of the Amur River reached the traverse of the southern boundary of the Piltun Bay; there, it was limited by cold salty water which had risen due to the eddy structure from deeper horizons. The ratio of the production spent on the food supply formation for the Okhotsk–Korean population of gray whales was 1.9 % of the total production of the studied water area.
