要旨:
This data paper reports the abundance of phytoplankton species in monthly or biweekly samples collected from May 1978 through March 2010 at two stations on Lake Kasumigaura, a shallow lake that is the second-largest lake in Japan. The data set of quantitatively over several decades is unique among the available published data papers concerning lakes or plankton and continues to be freely available. The monitoring has been performed as a component of the Lake Kasumigaura Long-term Environmental Monitoring program, conducted by the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES) since 1977. The data set details 173 phytoplankton species (or taxa), that can be identified by using an optical microscope and records their abundance. The abundance of each species is expressed in units of volume (μm3) per milliliter of lake water. This approach allows quantitative comparisons among taxa because the cell size of phytoplankton varies by several orders of magnitude among taxa. The phytoplankton data include 39 species (taxa) of Cyanophyta, 67 Chlorophyceae (Chlorophyta), 3 Prasinophyceae (Chlorophyta), 1 Raphidophyceae (Heterokontophyta), 6 Euglenophyceae (Euglenozoa), 4 Dinophyceae (Dinophyta), 38 Bacillariophyceae (Heterokontophyta), 6 Chrysophyceae (Heterokontophyta), 7 Xanthophyceae (Heterokontophyta), 1 Cryptophyceae (Cryptophyta) and 1 Prymnesiophyceae (Haptophyta). The data have been used for ecological and environmental studies and for studies on lake management.

処理の手順
手順 1:
説明:

A. Study sites

Lake Kasumigaura (Figure 1) is located approximately 60 km northeast of the Tokyo metropolitan area. It is the second-largest lake in Japan (surface area of 220 km2, a total volume of 0.85 billion m3) and is shallow (mean depth of 4 m, maximum depth of 7 m), with a catchment area of 2157 km2. The lake is composed of three parts: Nishi-ura, Kita-ura and Sotonasaka-ura. Nishi-ura, the largest part of the lake, has a surface area of 167.7 km2 and a total volume of 662 million m3. This part of the lake has 29 inflows and 1 major outflow. The Lake Kasumigaura Long-term Environmental Monitoring program is conducted at 10 sites in Nishi-ura, and the phytoplankton species abundance is monitored at 2 sites. The annual means of the transparency and the concentrations of the total phosphorus (TP), total nitrogen (TN), chlorophyll a (Chl.a), and suspended solids (SS) at the two sites from 1978 and 2009 are shown in Figure 2. The history of the lake alterations by recent human activities and the associated environmental problems are summarized in Takamura (2012).

B. Sampling, sample preservation and counting methods

Water samples were taken monthly or biweekly with a Van Dorn sampler at a depth of 0.5 m until March 1981, but the sampling method changed in April 1981 to the use of a column sampler from the surface to a depth of 2.0 m. The sample was immediately fixed with Lugol’s iodine solution. We counted the cells or units of each phytoplankton taxon under an inverted microscope with a Utermöhl chamber (1958) and then multiplied the volumes of the cell or unit of each taxon, making differential measurement for approximately 30 cells or units, according to Wetzel and Likens (1990). Microcystis cells were counted with a hemocytometer after dispersal of the colonial cell by ultrasonic disintegration (20 kHz, 60 sec.).

C. Taxonomy and systematics

The textbooks used for identification were Geitler (1932) and Watanabe (1999) for Cyanophyceae, Ettl (1978) for Xanthophyceae, Starmach (1985) for Chrysophyceae and Haptophyceae, Krammer and Lange-Bertalot (1986; 1988; 1991a, b) for Bacillariophyceae, Popovský and Pfiester (1990) for Dinophyceae, Mizuno and Tahahashi (2000) for Prasinophyceae, Raphidophyceae, Cryptophyceae, and Vovocales, Huber-Pestalozzi (1955) for Euglenophyceae, and Komárek and Fott (1983) for Chlorophyceae without Vovocales. The alga belonging to the genus Anabaena can be identified based on akinates’ shape and the alignment of akinates and heterocysts inside its colony or filament. Therefore, when we did not encounter such a colony or filament with akinates and heterocysts in the sample, we identified it as Anabaena spp.

D. Data verification procedures

The data were manually digitized and checked for typographical errors by the investigators. If any unreliable value remained, it was recorded as an error (see section11.D)
