Effect of Prudhoe crude oil on carbon assimilation by planktonic algae in an arctic pond

During the summer of 1975, 240ml/m of Prudhoe crude oil was spilled on an experimental coastal pond similar to those around Prudhoe Bay. Deviaton of algal production, algal biomass and species composition was compared to an adjacent control pond. Planktonic primary productivity was initially inhibit...
