We describe here the photosynthetic responses of sea-ice microalgae to varying irradiances.

Surface brine algae from near the surface and bottom-ice algae were exposed to a range of irradiances from 7 to 262 μmol photons · m(-2) · s(-1) . In surface brine algae, ΦPSII and α remained constant at all irradiances, and rETRmax peaked at 151 μmol photons · m(-2) · s(-1) , indicating these algae are well acclimated to the irradiances to which they are normally exposed. In contrast, ΦPSII , α, and rETRmax in bottom-ice algae reduced when exposed to irradiances >26 μmol photons · m(-2) · s(-1) , indicating a high degree of shade acclimation. In addition, the previous light history had no significant effect on the photosynthetic capacity of bottom-ice algae whether cells were gradually exposed to target irradiances over a 12 h period or were exposed immediately (light shocked). These findings indicate that bottom-ice algae are photoinhibited in a dose-dependent manner, while surface brine algae tolerate higher irradiances. Our study shows that sea-ice algae are able to adjust to changes in irradiance rapidly, and this ability to acclimate may facilitate survival and subsequent long-term acclimation to the postmelt light regime of the Southern Ocean.
