Net primary production was measured in situ in an Antarctic fast ice bottom algal mat at Cape Evans, McMurdo Sound, Antarctica. Under-ice PAR irradiances between 18 November and 4 December 1997 were between 3 and 55 μmol photons m-2 s-1. This produced a net oxygen export between 0.0084 and 0.0440 n...
