International audience The Subantarctic zone is one of the largest High-Nutrient Low-Chlorophyll zones of the Southern Ocean. Despite widespread iron limitation, phytoplankton accumulation (chlorophyll a (chla) > 0.3 mg m -3 ) often occurs near islands and bathymetric features such as on the Camp...
