Title Validity of net primary productivity estimation by light and dark bottle oxygen technique in tropical inshore waters, with a note on primary productivity of the surf zone at Cochin
 
Creator Selvaraj, G S D
 
Subject Primary Production
 
Description Light and dark bottle oxygen technique is widely used to estimate the rate of gross and net
photosynthetic production (G.P.P. and N.P.P.) in the marine environment, of which N.P.P.
determines the fertility of the sea and is also used for the assessment of potential fishery
resources. But in the shallow coastal waters of tropical seas, where organic load is considerably
high, bacterial oxidation and reduction processes involving utilisation and release of
oxygen tend to interfere significantly in the L-I values often leading to unreliable and
unrealistic values of net photosynthetic production.
