Title Seasonal variations in chlorophyll-a of some tropical environments
 
Creator Balasubramanian, T
 
Subject Primary Production
 
Description Seasonal variations in phytoplankton pigment were studied for a period
of one year from May 1973 to April 1974 in three environments, viz sea- grass bed, coral reef waters and an estuary near Mandapam. Chlorophyll u
values ranged from 0.893 to 9µg/1 in the Waters of seagrass bed, in coral
reef waters the range was from 0.177 to 0.695 µg/l, In estuary chlorophyll-a
varied from 0.962 to 8.762µg/l. Among the three environments taken for
study, the coral reef waters showed lower chlorophyll concentration than
seagrass bed wjtets and estuary. A proper understanding of the role of the
free phytoplankton and their association with corals and seaweeds in ascertaining their contribution lo the production in selected environments has
been stressed.
