ABSTRACT The perennially ice‐covered lakes of Antarctica have hydrodynamically stable water columns with a number of vertically distinct phytoplankton populations. We examined the photosynthesis‐irradiance characteristics of phytoplankton from four depths of Lake Bonney to determine their physiologi...
