Title Comments on the diel periodicity of phytoplankton photosynthesis, with an example from the Indian Ocean
 
Creator Sournia, A
 
Subject Phytoplanktons
 
Description The well known diel periodicity of phytoplankton photosynthesis under constant light
can be explained, to a large extent, by diel periodicity of the photosynthetic activity
per unit of chlorophyll; thus, to the same extent, this rhythm is independent of
chlorophyll concentration or biomass, and it reflects an endogenous cycle. On the other
hand, the periodicity which results from long term (24 hours) exposures under "simulated
in situ" conditions belongs to a quite different type. Both phenomena are discussed here
on the basis of parallel experiments made during cruise 8 of R/V "Anton Bruun" in the
Mozambique Channel (International Indian ocean Expedition).
