Ecophysiology of phyto- and bacterioplankton growth in the Prydz Bay area during the austral summer 1987: I. Modelling phytoplankton growth
A model of phytoplankton growth based on the knowledge of phytoplankton physiology and vertical mixing of surface waters was applied in the Prydz Bay during end-summer 1987. Physiological parameters of the model were experimentally estimated by means of kinetics of phytoplanktonic activities, measur...
