A STUDY OF THE STRATIFICATION OF PHYTOPLANKTON AT SELECTED LOCATIONS IN MONTEREY BAY, CALIFORNIA.

Abstract

Relationships between genera of phytoplankton present and the parameters of oceanographic regime and nutrient supply have been given. The research was made at three selected off-shore stations in Monterey Bay, California. Sampling and analysis procedures are described. Results of nutrient analysis include reactive phosphate and silicate. A temperature and salinity profile is described for each station. Phytoplankton analysis lists five genera of dinoflagellates and sixteen genera of diatoms. (Author)
