The interactions between physical-chemical features in the ocean directly reflect on the behavior of the hytoplankton community, so studying them, is fundamental to the knowledge of the islands in oceanic regions. This study aimed to obtain the values of organic carbon in biomass through cell biovolume of microphytoplankton species collected from the São Pedro and São Paulo Archipelago in order to contribute and update the models mentioned in the literature. Samples were collected in March 2008, at four transects perpendicular to the Archipelago. Among the 110 identified species, 33 species were selected for the measurement of cell biovolume. Three geometric shapes not previously combined were prepared for the genus Ceratium whose morphological complexity was not observed in previous protocols, and it was verified the lack in the literature of more precise measurements of the cell dimensions of certain organisms. The highest valuesof cell biovolume and biomass carbon were obtained for Pyrocystis noctilucaMurray ex Haeckel . It is expected that the implementation of the proposed recommendations on the models will encourage research in this area and increase the accuracy in determining the morphological measurements.Références
