Chapt 9C1. Marine Plants, page 9C1- 1 Chapter 9C1. Focal Taxonomic Collections: Marine Plants in Prince William Sound, Alaska Gayle I. Hansen, Hatfield Marine Science Center, Oregon State University Background Several NIS marine plants with potential for invasion of Alaskan waters have been reported on the west coast of North America. For example, the pervasive algae Sargassum muticum, Lomentaria hakodatensis, and the Japanese eelgrass Zostera japonica are thought to have been introduced with the aquaculture of oysters by the importation of spat from Japan. At least 5 oyster farms occur in Prince William Sound, and all have imported spat. For the herringroe-on-kelp (HROK) pound fishery, the giant kelp Macrocystis integrifolia is transported to Prince William Sound via plane from southeast Alaska (the northern limit of this species) to be used as a substrate for herring roe. Although the giant kelp cannot recruit in Prince William Sound, it seems likely that other species, accidentally co-transported with Macrocystis, could become established. Our Pilot Study (Ruiz and Hines 1997) also considered several NIS algal species reported from Alaskan waters, including a report of a cosmopolitan species Codium fragile tomentasoides from Green Island. Methods Sample Period. Marine benthic algae, seagrasses, and intertidal lichens were sampled as a part of the cruise aboard the F/V Kristina during 20-28 June 1998, described above for invertebrates. Site Information. A subset of 19 of the 46 sites selected for invertebrate sampling were chosen for the plant study, including 13 intertidal sites (4 within Port Valdez and 9 in Prince William Sound) and 6 off-shore float sites. Site abbreviations (for tables and figures to follow), coordinates, temperature, and salinity are given in Table 9C1.1. Please note that the site numbers in Table 9C1.1 for plants do not correspond to the site numbers on the map (Fig. 9A2) or Table 9A1 for invertebrates. The substratum types, listed for each site, are only those sampled for algae and seagrasses. For analysis and discussion, the 19 plant sites have been grouped into 5 basic habitat types: harbors, mud bays, rocky headlands and reefs, rocky bays, and floats. These will be discussed in greater detail in the Results section below. Surveying Techniques. At each site, intertidal areas accessible by foot within the time period provided were sampled. Since introduced species could potentially occur in any of the marine plant taxonomic groups, it was important to sample the entire range of species present from as broad an area as possible. Marine algal populations are well-known for being extremely patchy in distribution, caused primarily by narrow species requirements (and tolerances) for substratum, tidal height (exposure), salinity, nutrients, and sunlight. Since the species were patchily distributed, they were encountered and collected sporadically, not uniformly over time. For this study, abundance was noted only when unusually large patches of a particular species were encountered; it was not documented uniformly for entire sites. Time Allotment. As shown in Table 9C1.s, sampling times at major sites varied from 10 minutes to 2 hours. At low diversity sites, such as Cloudman Bay, the time provided was sufficient for complete algal collection; at other sites, such as Green Island, the time was often
