E-mail: dolan@obs-vlfr.fr Abstract The Amundsen Sea has been described as one of the most productive and dynamic pelagic systems in Antarctica and is one of the least studied. Based on samples from 15 stations in the Amundsen Sea, we describe for the first time the composition of the tintinnid ciliate assemblage of the microzooplankton. We compared the species compositions of coastal polynya sites, where the phytoplankton communities are dominated by Phaeocystis, to those of the offshore deep water sites, which are dominated by diatoms. We found a total of 15 species. Polynya sites were dominated by a few species of tintinnids, mostly those endemic to the Southern Ocean. In contrast, the deep-water sites contained many widespread tintinnid species, which are known from a wide variety of systems as well as other areas of the Southern Ocean. We examined polymorphism known to characterize the Antarctic tintinnid species Cymato- cylis affinis/convallaria and Codonellopsis gaussi. We found that the types or forms found appeared unrelated to the type of microplankton community, defined by the identity of the dominant phytoplankton taxa. However, the number of different morphotypes found at a site appeared related to the overall concentration of the species, suggesting that different morphologies, pre- viously considered distinct species, may simply be developmental stages. The Amundsen Sea is a dynamic region of the Antarctic. It was recently described as ‘‘one of the most rapidly changing parts of the cyrosphere’’ (Smith et al. 2011) because it is receiving increasing amounts of meltwater from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and experiencing winter warming (Ding et al. 2011). Studies based on data from satellite images have concluded that coastal areas of the Amundsen Sea are among the most productive in Antarctica (Arrigo & van Dijken 2003) and that primary production, perhaps fuelled in part by increases in iron input from glacier meltwater, may increase in the future (Arrigo et al. 2012). Paradoxically, the Amundsen Sea is also one of the most poorly sampled areas of the Southern Ocean (Griffiths 2010; De Broyer et al. 2011) and has but recently become a focus of attention in biological oceanography. Primary production in the Amundsen Sea polynya is probably the most productive of any area in Antarctica (Yager et al. 2012). The Amundsen Sea polynya, dominated by the colonial haptophyte Phaeocystis antarctica, may increase in relative importance in the future compared to the off-shore communities in which primary production is dominated by large diatoms (Alderkamp et al. 2012). Tintinnid ciliates are one of the many distinct groups of organisms that make up the marine microzooplankton, the functional group of organisms nominally between 20 and 200 mm in maximal dimension, which are grazers feeding primarily on small phytoplankton sizes ranging from 2 to 20 mm. In most pelagic systems*including different areas of the Southern Ocean (Calbet & Landry 2004)*the microzooplankton are recognized to be the major consumers of primary production, accounting for (page number not for citation purpose) Polar Research 2013. # 2013 J.R.

Exceptions to this general rule are when primary production is dominated by large diatoms or Phaeocystis, as is often the case in productive Southern Ocean waters (e.g., Burkill et al. 1995; Tsuda & Kawaguchi 1997; Caron et al. 2000; Froneman 2004). Compared to oligotrich ciliates or heterotrophic dinoflagellates, tintinnids are generally a minority component of the microzooplank- ton (e.g., Dolan et al. 1999). However, there are records of tintinnids acting as the dominant consumers of phytoplankton (e.g., Karayanni et al. 2005). The major predators of tintinnids are usually thought to be copepods although a wide variety of animals are known to consume tintinnids (Stoecker 2012). While there are no data from the Amundsen Sea, in other Southern Ocean systems, gut contents studies have shown that tintinnids are eaten by a variety of both pelagic and benthic organisms. Tintinnid loricae have been found in the guts of crustacean zooplankters such as copepods (Lonsdale et al. 2000; Kruse et al. 2009), krill and mysid shrimp (Mauchline 1980), the zooplankters usually considered the major consumers of microzoo- plankton (e.g., Froneman et al. 1996). However, other Southern Ocean animals, many not often thought of as predators of microzooplankton, have been found to contain the remains of tintinnids. These include the larger gelatinous zooplankton such as salps (Buck et al. 1992), chaetognaths (Hopkins 1987) and larval Antarctic silverfish (Pleuragramma antarcticum; Kellermann 1987). Some benthic organisms of the Antarctic, such as octocorals (Orejas et al. 2003) and deep sea isopods (Brökeland et al. 2010), have been found to contain the remains of tintinnids. In the Southern Ocean, tintinnids appear to be a widely exploited resource. Unlike the numerically dominant taxa of the micro- zooplankton, the oligotrichid ciliates and heterotrophic dinoflagellates, tintinnids have species-specific shells or loricae. Hence, species identifications are relatively straightforward, unlike most microplankton taxa. Gen- erally, the tintinnid lorica is tubular or conical but a very large range of constructions is found among the different taxa. The diameter of the open mouth-end of the lorica, the lorica oral diameter (LOD), is an important char- acteristic not only in terms of taxonomy but it is also a key ecological characteristic. A given species feeds at a maximum rate on prey of a size of about 25% of LOD (Dolan 2010). In common with other protistan taxa with skeletal structures or shells, the characteristics of such hard parts are used to define species despite the fact that some tintinnid species are known to display considerable plasticity in lorica morphology (e.g., Laval-Peuto & Brownlee 1986). Indeed, some Antarctic taxa have long been suspected of showing morphological plasticity. The existence of intermediate forms morphologies de- scribed as distinct species led to the suggestion that Cymatocylis species may be polymorphic (Boltovskoy et al. 1990; Williams et al. 1994) as well as the species Codonellopsis gaussi (Alder 1999). Recent genetic studies have confirmed the suspected polymorphism of Cymato- cylis affinis/convallaria and Codonellopsis gaussi (Kim et al. in press). The factors that may be associated with the different morphologies or forms remain completely unknown. In late 2010, the maiden voyage of the ice-breaker Araon provided the opportunity to make the first direct measurements of primary production in the Amundsen Sea along with analysis of phytoplankton composition (Lee et al. 2012). During the cruise, the stations sampled included both polynya and open-water stations. Material was obtained at 15 stations using a 20-mm plankton net for the analysis of the microplankton community (Fig. 1). To our knowledge, this is the first report on the ecology and species composition of tintinnids of the Amundsen Sea. The only existing data are part of the total ciliate species inventory from the study of Wickham et al. (2011), who provided a species list pooled from several Bellinghausen and Amundsen Sea stations, and the recent study of morphology and phylogeny of selected taxa by Kim et al. (in press). Here, we present data on the composition and distribution of the tintinnid assem- blage of the Amundsen Sea. We sought to determine if the tintinnid assemblages found in the non-polynya stations, primarily open deep waters, in which the microplankton community is dominated by diatoms, differed from those found in the coastal polynya stations, Fig. 1 Location of stations sampled for tintinnids. The green box distinguishes the polynya stations (following Lee et al. 2012). Tintinnid ciliates of the Amundsen Sea J.R.

We also sought to determine if different forms or morphotypes of the polymorphic species Cymatocylis affinis/convallaria and Condonellopsis gaussi co-occur or are found in different microplankton communities. Here, we use the name Cymatocylis affinis/ convallaria to remain in conformity with the existing lit- erature (e.g., Boltovskoy et al. 1990; Wasik & Mikolajszyk 1994). Materials and methods The data reported were collected during the cruise of the Korean research ice-breaker Araon in the Amundsen Sea from December 2010 to January 2011. A Niskin bottle rosette equipped with conductivity*temperature* density probes was used to sample a total of 30 stations and plankton net tows were performed to assess micro- plankton community composition at 15 of the 30 stations sampled (Fig. 1). Stations were located in both deep offshore waters and polynya areas, considered as coastal areas of open water (free of sea ice) within the sea ice zone; areas of sea ice and concentrations were based on data from the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colorado, corresponding to the cruise period. The classification of stations used here follows that established in Lee et al. (2012). For chlorophyll a determinations, water samples of 0.3�1 L were obtained from 7 to 9 discrete depths between the surface and 150 m depth. Water samples were filtered through a 0.7-mm grade GF/F glass fibre filter (Whatman, Kent, UK) and chlorophyll concen- trations were determined on-board using a Trilogy fluorometer (Turner Designs, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) calibrated against commercial chl a standards. Net tows were made with a 20-mm plankton net, 0.45 m in diameter, equipped with a calibrated flowmeter, towed from 150 m depth to the surface. A portion of the net tow material was fixed with Bouin’s solution (6% final concentration) for direct microscopic examination. In the laboratory, aliquots of net tow material were sequentially diluted and examined in settling chambers using an inverted microscope equipped with differential interference contrast optics. The entire surface of the settling chamber was examined at 200 � total magnification. Species identifications were made using the mono- graphs of Kofoid & Campbell (1929, 1939), Hada (1970), Balech (1973) and Alder (1999). Total sample volumes examined varied, depending on the concentrations of tintinnids and the dilutions employed varied according to concentrations of phytoplankton. However, multiple aliquots were examined until at least 50 tintinnids were enumerated for each station (tintinnids enumerated per station ranged from 52 to 358; average 1729139). The sample volumes examined were equal to 1�7 ml of the original 350 ml total net tow material, representing material from about 10�400 L filtered by the net. Nominal concentrations of organisms were calculated based on the apparent volume filtered by the net (as indicated the by net flowmeter) and the volume of net tow material examined. It should be noted that the concentrations reported here are the average values per litre for the top 150 m of the water column. In general, relatively few cells are found below the mixed layer (e.g., Dolan & Marassé 1995).

For several stations, we also enumerated copepod nauplii as a proxy measure of copepod abundance. Simple linear regression was used to investigate the relationships between con- centrations (log transformed) of tintinnids and chloro- phyll as well as occurrences of different morphotypes.

The polynya stations, compared to the non-polynya, primarily offshore sites, were characterized by shallower mixed layer depths (Table 1), considerably higher chlorophyll a concentra- tions with a distinct chlorophyll maximum, and high primary production (Table 2, Fig. 2). The offshore stations were comparatively low in concentrations of chlorophyll and showed more even vertical distributions of chlor- ophyll. The phytoplankton dominating the microplank- ton communities was distinctly different also. In the deep water offshore stations, the microplankton was domi- nated by diatoms while in the polynya stations, micro- plankton was dominated by Phaeocystis (Table 2, Fig. 3). It should be noted that our observations concerning Fig. 3 Low magnification (4 � objective) views of settled net tow material from (a) an offshore deep-water station, station 5, showing a dominance by diatoms, and (b) a coastal polynya station, station 18, showing a dominance by colonies of Phaeocystis. The area shown is equivalent to a volume of the original net tow material from about 1 L of seawater. The arrows show tintinnids (Cymatocylis). Table 3 Species records for each station with the station numbers in boldface denoting the polynya stations or near polynya conditions (station 8). The distributional type is based on the biogeographic classifications presented by Dolan et al. (2012). Note that most species were absent from the polynya stations. The species found in polynya were exclusively the Southern Ocean endemic forms except for Salpingella faurei. Note that the species Codondellopsis gaussi and Cymatocylis convallaria group forms previously considered separate species in some reports.

A total of 15 species with a wide range of morphologies were encountered in the samples, as well as a variety of morphotypes of two Antarctic species, Codonellopsis gaussi and Cymatocylis affinis/convallaria (Table 3, Fig. 4). Typically, low species-richness (two to four species) characterized the polynya assemblages compared to the non-polynya assemblages (4�10 species). Furthermore, polynya assemblages were generally dominated by spe- cies endemic to the Southern Ocean (largely forms of Cymatocylis affinis/convallaria and Condonellopsis gaussi) while the offshore assemblages included many wide- spread tintinnid taxa (Table 3). Overall, the abundance of tintinnids was clearly not related to bulk chlorophyll concentrations (Table 2). However, plotting chlorophyll data by the dominant type of phytoplankton (diatom, Phaeocystis, or both) suggested that within Phaeocystis-dominated commu- nities, tintinnid abundance increased with chlorophyll concentrations (Fig. 5). Note that we have no data on the abundance of nano-phytoplankton such as the single-cell forms of Phaeocystis or other probable major prey items for tintinnid ciliates. We found no clear relationship between the composi- tion of the microphytoplankton and the occurrence of different morphologies of Condonellopsis gaussi and those of Cymatocylis affinis/convallaria. Of the many different ‘‘forms,’’ or morphotypes, encountered (Fig. 4), most were found in both the diatom-dominated offshore stations and the Phaeocystis-dominated polynya stations (Table 3). There was also no relationship between the number of morphotypes co-occurring and the concen- tration of chlorophyll, regardless of the identity of the taxa dominating the phytoplankton. However, there was a weak but significant positive relationship between the number of different morphotypes found in an assemblage and the overall concentration of C. affinis/convallaria (Fig. 6). There was also a positive trend between the numbers of C. gaussi morphotypes or forms found and the overall concentration of C. gaussi but not a significant linear relationship. Discussion We documented a species-richness for the Amundsen Sea far in excess of that known for the adjacent Bellinghau- sen Sea (Table 4). There is no doubt that our results reflect the fact that we examined material from large volumes of water sampled with a relatively fine-mesh net. Interestingly, most (nine out of the 15 species) were ‘‘widespread’’ species, found in a variety of systems ranging from the Mediterranean Sea (Dolan 2000) to the Pacific Ocean (Dolan et al. 2007), and all were species which have been previously recorded from other South- ern Ocean locations, if not the Bellinghausen Sea (see Dolan et al. 2012). Therefore, none of our species records for the Amundsen Sea are new for the Southern Ocean. However, we did establish for the first time the existence of distinct tintinnid communities in polynya and offshore deep water based on our data concerning the Amundsen Sea. At the polynya stations, where the microplankton community was dominated by Phaeocystis, the tintinnid assemblage was a particular subset of the species catalo- gue. Only four species were found and three of the four are species endemic to the Southern Ocean: Cymatocylis affinis/convallaria, Codonellopsis gaussi, Laackmanniella pro- longata. These Southern Ocean species are all relatively wide-mouth species, with LODs measuring from 40 to 100 mm, presumably feeding most efficiently on prey much larger than those exploited by most of the other species found in the Amundsen Sea (see Fig. 4). While Fig. 5 Scatterplot showing relationship between tintinnid and chlor- ophyll concentrations in the top 150 m. Symbols distinguish stations in which the microphytoplankton was dominated by diatoms, Phaeocystis, or was a mixture of both. There was no significant relationship between tintinnid and overall chlorophyll concentration or among stations in which diatoms dominated the microplankton community. While we have quantitative data for only three of the four polynya stations, the concentration of tintinnids does, however, appear to increase with chlorophyll concentrations in the Phaeocystis-dominated communities (n �3, r �0.987).

Tintinnid ciliates of the Amundsen Sea Citation: Polar Research 2013, 32, 19784, http://dx.doi.org/10.3402/polar.v32i0.19784 7 (page number not for citation purpose) http://www.polarresearch.net/index.php/polar/article/view/19784 http://dx.doi.org/10.3402/polar.v32i0.19784 there were few data points, it was only among the polynya stations that there appeared to be a relationship between the concentrations of chlorophyll and tintinnids (Fig. 5). However, it is unclear if the relationship could reflect a predator*prey relationship between Phaeocystis and tintinnids. Typical planktonic ciliates, such as oligo- trichs are unable to graze on colonies of Phaeocystis and ingest only the individual free-swimming cells (e.g., Verity 2000). However, tintinnids can reportedly ingest cells from the outer layer of colonies of Phaeocystis, crop individual cells, as well as feed on the free-swimming stage (Admiraal & Venekamp 1986). An alternative, but not exclusive, explanation for a positive relationship between Phaeocystis concentration and tintinnid abun- dance is that predation on tintinnids is lower in such communities due to either lower predator abundance or lower predator feeding efficiency with increasing concentrations of Phaeocystis. Many polynya areas are known to be characterized by the relatively low abun- dance of zooplankton (e.g., Tagliabue & Arrigo 2003) and this appears to be the case for Amundsen Sea polynya also (Yager et al. 2012). We do not have data on the abundance of predators of tintinnids in our polynya compared to non-polynya stations, only some indirect evidence in the form of copepod naupliar concentrations. Our data on copepod nauplii abundance (Table 2) suggests little difference between polynya stations and off-shore stations. How- ever, this is weak evidence of no difference in top*down control of tintinnid composition. Regardless of the Fig. 6 Scatterplots showing the relationship between the numbers of different forms of (a) Cymatocylis affinis and (c) Condonellopsis gaussi found in relation to the concentration of chlorophyll (symbols show the dominant phytoplankton forms), and (b, d) the total concentrations of the species, all forms pooled. Note that there is no apparent relationship between numbers of forms and the concentration or composition of the phytoplankton. However, the number of forms found in a station sample was positively related to the overall concentration of Cymatocylis affinis, all forms pooled. For C. gaussi the relationship was not significant. Tintinnid ciliates of the Amundsen Sea J.R.

We were also interested in examining the phenomenon of polymorphism in the species Cymatocylis affinis and Codonellopsis gaussi (Fig. 4). Our working hypothesis was that distinct morphologies represent adaptations to dis- tinct conditions. However, we found no evidence that particular morphologies are associated with particular phytoplankton communities. A near full-range of mor- phologies was found in microplankton communities dominated by diatoms as well as communities dominated by Phaeocystis (Table 3). The number of morophotypes found in individual samples was also unrelated to the number of cells enumerated (data not shown). Also, the number of different morphologies found in an assemblage appeared unrelated to the concentration of chlorophyll, regardless of the type of phytoplankton assemblage (Fig. 6a, c). An alternative explanation for polymorphism is that rather than representing adaptations to a particular environment, the different morphologies found are simply different developmental stages. In this regard, it should be noted that in tintinnids, which reproduce by cell division, the lorica is retained by the newly formed daughter cell, the opisthe, and the cell with the parental mouth, the protor, swims off and forms a new lorica (see Agatha et al. 2012). Consequently, in a population of tintinnids there are both ‘‘old’’ and ‘‘new’’ loricas. The loricas inhabited by many of the tintinnids in a popula- tion were formed not by the current inhabitants but rather by ancestral cells and not necessarily direct ancestors but possibly several generations removed. We speculate that a population of tintinnids, if it is relatively long-lived and experiences rapid bursts of population growth, is liable to contain loricas formed by cells which divided before lorica formation was complete. These partially formed loricas could be re- tained in the population, inherited by successive genera- tions. Unfortunately, we cannot directly examine this possibility. However, if polymorphism simply reflects different developmental stages, we reasoned that dense populations would exhibit more polymorphism than sparse populations as dense populations are more likely to show characteristics of rapid population growth and thus contain more ‘‘immature individuals’’ corresponding to different morphotypes or forms. We found some evidence in support of the hypothesis as the concentra- tion of Cymatocylis affinis/convallaria was positively related to the number of morphotypes in the population (Fig. 6b). A positive (although not significant) trend was also Table 4 Species records of the Amundsen Sea and the adjacent Bellinghausen Sea. Species names in boldface are endemic to the Southern Ocean; the others are known from a wide range of areas including other regions of the Southern Ocean (Dolan et al. 2012).

Tintinnid ciliates of the Amundsen Sea Citation: Polar Research 2013, 32, 19784, http://dx.doi.org/10.3402/polar.v32i0.19784 9 (page number not for citation purpose) http://www.polarresearch.net/index.php/polar/article/view/19784 http://dx.doi.org/10.3402/polar.v32i0.19784 apparent in Condonellopsis gaussi (Fig. 6d). Note that these trends were not dependent on the overall number of individuals examined for each station. Conclusion We found a high species-richness in the Amundsen Sea compared to the better known adjacent Bellinghausen Sea. We compared, for the first time, the species assemblages of coastal polynya sites, projected to increase in relative importance in the future, with offshore deep water sites. The polynya sites of high primary produc- tion dominated by Phaeocystis, show a lower species richness and are formed mainly of large-mouthed tintin- nid species endemic to the southern Ocean. In the polymorphic species Cymatocylis affinis/convallaria and Codonellopsis gaussi, the number of types or forms found co-occurring appeared related to the overall concentra- tion of the species, suggesting that the different morphol- ogies may simply be developmental stages.
