Studies on Antarctic phytoplankton
Abstract
Ice-edge data from a single polynya station at 70 degrees S 11 degrees E over a 2-month period is assessed in relation to previously published work in similar environments. The phytoplankton community seems to be composed of 2 quite different elements, the first from ice-algae released by melting and the second consisting of planktonic algae. Biomass measured as chlorophyll @ia@@, ATP cell counts is discussed in relation to primary production and doubling rates
