Phytoplankton assemblages are essential for understanding the quality of primary production in marine ecosystems. Here, we describe the development of a methodology for monitoring marine phytoplankton assemblages using an in situ multi-wavelength excitation fluorometer (MEX). The MEX recorded the fl...
