Distributions and variations of biogenic sulfur compounds including dimethylsulfide (DMS), dissolved and total dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSPd and DMSPt) and acrylic acid (AA) were investigated in coastal waters off Qingdao, China during the late-bloom and after-bloom periods of the Ulva prolifera bloom of 2015. DMSPd, DMS and AA concentrations after the bloom were significantly higher than during the late-bloom, but DMSPt concentrations in surface waters began to decrease. High concentrations of these compounds in the surface layer were associated with the bloom, with the exception of increased concentrations of DMSPt in the middle layer as decaying U. prolifera debris settled. The sea-to-air fluxes of DMS were estimated to be 18.08 and 24.24 μmol m⁻² d⁻¹ during the late-bloom and after-bloom, and about three times higher than the reported average fluxes of the Yellow Sea, which highlighted the impacts of U. prolifera blooms on DMS emissions.
