The Growth of Arctic Marine Phytoplankton in Frobisher Bay
ABSTRACT. During the summers of 1977 and 1978, populations of phytoplankton collected in Frobisher Bay at depths of 0,5,10, 15,20 and 25 m were enclosed in dialysis bags and incubated in situ at the depths from which they were collected. The greatest growth rate of the populations occur-red at 10 m...
