SEASONAL VARIABILITY AND PIGMENT DYNAMIC OF PHYTOPLANKTON POPULATIONS IN NORTH ATLANTIC (BAY OF BISCAY)
Phytoplankton dynamics on the French Atlantic continental shelf (PCAF) have been studied by pigment analysis using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and a data analysis protocol following the chemotaxonomic approach using the CHEMTAX software.The study shows the good agreement between th...

Phytoplankton dynamics on the French Atlantic continental shelf (PCAF) have been studied by pigment analysis using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and a data analysis protocol following the chemotaxonomic approach using the CHEMTAX software.The study shows the good agreement between the results of pigment analysis and the results of phytoplankton countings for diatoms, prymnesiophyceans, cryptophyceans, and cyanobacteria.
