Studies on the nutrient distribution in the Southern Ocean waters along the 45 degrees E transect
Seawater samples from the surface as well as at different depths of the water column were collected from 30 stations during the Pilot Expedition to Southern Ocean (PESO). The sampling stations were along a transect between latitude 27 degrees 59 minutes 48” S and 56 degrees 00 minutes 14" S and...
