Description 96-99
Variations in biological parameters over 24 hr at 4 stations off Bombay indicated that chlorophyll a concentration, organic carbon production and particulate organic carbon (POC) were generally maximum during the day. Concentrations of pigments at any depth ranged from 0.09 to 1.74 (mg m-3). Similarly the production and POC varied from 1.15 to 86.12 (mgC m-3 d-1) and 107.6 to 585.4 (mgC m-3). 'Smaller phytoplankton' contributed 50 to 100% to the pigment of the total phytoplankton. The maximum in assimilation number was found when NH4-N and NO3-N were maximum.
