DISTRIBUTION AND COMMUNITY STRUCTURE OF PICOPHYTOPLANKTON IN THE SOUTHERN OCEAN DURING THE LATE AUSTRAL SUMMER OF 1992 (16th Symposium on Polar Biology)
Abundance and community structure of picophytoplankton populations were investigated in the Southern Ocean during the late austral summer of 1992. Three major oceanographic fronts, the Antarctic Polar Front, the Subantarctic Front, and the Subtropical Convergence, were recognized based on the degree...

Abundance and community structure of picophytoplankton populations were investigated in the Southern Ocean during the late austral summer of 1992. Three major oceanographic fronts, the Antarctic Polar Front, the Subantarctic Front, and the Subtropical Convergence, were recognized based on the degree of latitudinal gradients of surface water temperature and nutrient concentrations. These fronts divide the area into four distinct zones, the Antarctic Zone (ANZ), the Polar Frontal Zone (PFZ), the Subantarctic Zone (SAZ), and the Subtropical Zone (STZ). Chlorophyll a concentration retained on a glass fiber filter (bulk CHL) was the most abundant (0.93±0.24μg/l) in the SAZ.
