Each year in Antarctica, the period of greatest biological production in the coastal waters coincides with the onset of the ozone hole [Davidson and van der Heijden, 2000]. UV irradiance, enhanced by stratospheric ozone depletion and by highly reflective snow, may impact on the biota blooming in sea...
