Vertical distribution of phytoplanktonic chlorophyll-α in Boeckella Lake was studied during summer periods in 1992 and 1993. Two opposite sites subjected to different organic matter inputs from the adjacent penguin rookeries were periodically sampled at three depths. Chlorophyll-α concentrations var...
