Méthodes déchantillonnage

Macroalgal samples had either been pressed in the field (e.g., on board Tiama) or preserved in seawater/formalin or in alcohol. In some cases specimens had been frozen. For some specimens, subsamples had been removed and placed in silica gel for subsequent molecular sequencing. The liquid preserved specimens were rinsed, examined for epiphytes, and then pressed on herbarium paper. Specimens that had been frozen were highly problematic and on thawing most macroalgae disintegrated. Fragmentation was lessened by immersing samples in trays of 70% alcohol as they thawed, followed by rapid preparation of herbarium specimens.

Description des étapes de la méthode:

1. Specimens were examined microscopically by either hand sectioning with a razor blade or by preparing whole mounts. Some slides were stained for several minutes in an acidified aniline blue solution (1 part 1% aniline blue solution: 9 parts 7% acetic acid solution) and permanently mounted in a 50% aqueous Karo mixture (with phenol crystals added to prevent microbial growth). Photomicrographs were taken using a Zeiss AxioCam HRc camera with accompanying AxioVision software (Release 4.5), mounted on a Zeiss Axiovert microscope.
2. We examined underwater images taken in 2001 and 2006 from Tangaroa, and images taken in 2006 (Tiama) to compare with dredge and scuba records.
3. The macrofauna core samples had been sieved on a 500 μm mesh screen and preserved in 10% formalin by the Tiama researchers. In our New Zealand laboratories, any invertebrates found in the cores were sorted and identified to the lowest taxonomic level possible. Chlorophyll a was extracted from homogenised, freeze-dried sediments by boiling in 90% ethanol. The extract was measured spectrophotometrically, with an acidification step included to separate out degradation products (phaeophytin) (Sartory 1982). Sediments for particle size analysis were homogenised, digested in 6% hydrogen peroxide for 48 h to remove organic matter, and dispersed using Calgon. A Galai particle analyser (Galai Cis−100; Galai Productions Ltd, Midgal Haemek, Israel) was then used to calculate percentage volumes for the coarse, medium, and fine sand, silt and clay fractions. Organic content was determined by drying the sediment at 60 °C for 48 h, followed by combustion at 400 °C for 5.5 h
