Abstract:
The Atlantic Zone Monitoring Program (AZMP) derives its information on the marine environment and ecosystem from data collected at a network of sampling locations (fixed point, high frequency sampling stations, cross-shelf sections, ecosystem trawl surveys) in each Fisheries and Oceans Canada region (DFO; Québec, Gulf, Maritimes, and Newfoundland) sampled at a frequency of twice-monthly to once annually. This report provides an assessment of the distribution and variability of nutrients and plankton on the Scotian Shelf and in the eastern Gulf of Maine, focusing on conditions in 2014. Surface and deep ocean temperatures were warmer than average overall in the DFO Maritimes Region in 2014, especially in the slope waters and western Scotian Shelf in the second half of the year. Stratification was higher than average at an annual scale, but stratification anomalies were variable at sub-annual scales at the fixed stations and deep mixing events were observed at Halifax-2 in late winter and spring. Although annual average anomalies of surface- and deep-layer nitrate were near normal in most areas, there was substantial sub-annual variability in nitrate anomalies, particularly for deep-layer nitrate at Halifax-2. Scotian Shelf spring phytoplankton bloom magnitudes observed by remote sensing were low, while summer-fall blooms were higher than average in several areas. Spring blooms at the fixed stations were unusually deep, and therefore their magnitude would not have been accurately represented in satellite ocean colour observations. Both zooplankton biomass and Calanus finmarchicus abundance were lower than average overall in 2014. The abundance of Arctic Calanus species, an indicator of cold water on the Scotian Shelf, was lower than average in 2014, while the abundance of warm offshore species was higher than average on the central and western Scotian Shelf. Higher than average occurrence of thaliaceans (mainly salps) was observed, perhaps related to strong sub-annual variability. Ocean conditions in the DFO Maritimes Region have been characterized by strong sub-annual and mesoscale variability in 2013 and 2014, in addition to warmer temperatures, and interannual variability has been strong during the AZMP period since 1999. It is important to evaluate not only how the ecosystem responds to changes in mean conditions but also the response to changes in sub-annual to interannual variability. Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) sampling showed that in 2013 abundances of Calanus I-IV and C. finmarchicus V-VI returned to normal or relatively high levels from the historically low levels seen in 2012 across the Scotian Shelf. C. glacialis, C. hyperboreus and Oithona spp. were at near normal levels shelf-wide. Anomalies for three indices of phytoplankton abundance were below or close to normal on the Eastern Scotian Shelf (ESS) but above or close to normal on the Western Scotian Shelf (WSS). Many zooplankton taxa also exhibited contrasting patterns for the annual average abundance on the ESS versus the WSS.

Résumé:
Le Programme de Monitorage de la Zone Atlantique (PMZA) tire l’information sur les conditions de l’environnement et de l'écosystème marins à partir de données recueillies sur un réseau d'échantillonnage (stations fixes à fréquence d'échantillonnage élevée, sections transversales du plateau, relevés écosystémiques au chalut de fond) couvrant chaque région de l'Atlantique desservie par Pêches et Océans Canada (MPO; Québec, Golfe, Maritimes et Terre-Neuve), à une fréquence d’échantillonnage variant de bimensuelle à annuelle. Ce rapport fournit une évaluation de la distribution et de la variabilité des éléments nutritifs et du plancton sur le plateau néo-écossais et dans le golfe du Maine, avec comme intérêt principal les conditions observées en 2014. Des températures de surface et d’eau profonde plus élevées que la moyenne ont été observées dans la région Maritimes du MPO en 2014, en particulier pour les eaux de la pente continentale et de la partie ouest du plateau néo-écossais durant la seconde moitié de l'année. La stratification était plus élevée que la moyenne à l'échelle annuelle, mais des anomalies de stratification variables à l'échelle intra-annuelle et des événements de mélange profond ont été observés à la station fixe Halifax-2 en fin d'hiver et au printemps. Bien que les anomalies annuelles moyennes du nitrate de la couche de surface et de la couche profonde étaient près de la normale pour la plupart des sites échantillonnés, une variabilité intra-annuelle importante des anomalies du nitrate a été observée, spécialement pour le nitrate de la couche profonde à Halifax-2. L’intensité de la floraison printanière du phytoplancton telle qu’observée par télédétection a été en général faible sur le plateau néo-écossais, alors que la floraison d’été-automne était plus élevée que la moyenne dans plusieurs régions. La floraison printanière du phytoplancton a atteint des niveaux de profondeur inhabituels aux stations fixes, sans toutefois être représentée dans les observations par télédétection. La biomasse de zooplancton et l’abondance de Calanus finmarchicus étaient inférieures à la moyenne globale en 2014. L'abondance des espèces de Calanus arctique, un indicateur d’eaux froides sur le plateau néo-écossais, a été inférieure à la moyenne en 2014, tandis que l'abondance des espèces extra-côtières chaudes était plus élevée que la moyenne à l’ouest et au centre du plateau néo-écossais. Une présence plus élevée de thaliacés (principalement salpes) a été observée, et peut être liée à la forte variabilité intra-annuelle. Les conditions océaniques dans la région Maritimes du MPO ont été caractérisées par une forte variabilité intra-annuelle et à l’échelle moyenne en 2013 et 2014, en plus des températures plus élevées que la moyenne, et par une importante variabilité interannuelle au cours de la période du PMZA depuis 1999. Il est important d'évaluer non seulement la façon dont l’écosystème réagit aux changements des conditions moyennes, mais aussi la réponse aux changements de la variabilité intra-annuelle et interannuelle. Les données d’échantillonnage à l’aide d’enregistreurs de plancton en continu ont montré que l’abondance de Calanus I-IV et de C. finmarchicus V-VI était revenue à des niveaux normaux ou plus élevés que la normale en 2013 comparativement aux niveaux historiquement bas observés en 2012 sur le plateau néo-écossais. Les espèces C. glacialis, C. hyperboreus et Oithona spp. se sont maintenues à des niveaux quasi normaux à l’échelle du plateau. L’anomalie de trois indices de l'abondance du phytoplancton a été inférieure ou près de la normale sur la partie est du plateau néo-écossais (ESS), mais supérieure ou près de la normale sur la partie ouest du plateau néo-écossais (WSS). Des tendances contradictoires  entre ESS et WSS ont aussi été observées dans l’abondance annuelle moyenne de plusieurs taxons de zooplancton.
