SEASONAL VARIATION IN PARTICULATE ORGANIC MATTER UNDER THE ANTARCTIC FAST ICE WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO C: N: P RATIO AND PHYTOPLANKTON ACTIVITY* (EXTENDED ABSTRACT)

Primary production under the Antarctic fast ice is mainly brought by phytoplank-ton and ice algae only in a relatively short period of summertime in a year (BUNT and LEE, 1970; FUKUCHI et al., 1985). This production then presumably influences the seasonal variation in both the nature and standing st...

Description
Summary:Primary production under the Antarctic fast ice is mainly brought by phytoplank-ton and ice algae only in a relatively short period of summertime in a year (BUNT and LEE, 1970; FUKUCHI et al., 1985). This production then presumably influences the seasonal variation in both the nature and standing stock of particulate organic matter in water column. From the viewpoint that the seasonal variation of organic matter plays an important role on the energy flow and food availability in the ecosystem under ice, a year-round observation on particulate organic matter was carried out
