Phaeocystis is a genus of marine phytoplankton with a world-wide distribution. It has a
polymorphic life cycle alternating free-living cells and colonies but develops massive blooms …

Chlorophylls and carotenoids are commonly used as quantitative biomarkers for the
composition and biomass of marine phytoplankton. This chapter provides an overview of the …

We describe a new program for calculating algal class abundances from measurements of
chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments determined by high-performance liquid …

A high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method based on a reversed-phase C 8
column and pyridine-containing mobile phases was developed for the simultaneous …

The influences of light and nutrients on ratios of pigments/chlorophyll a (chl a) were
investigated for several species of different phytoplankton groups from estuaries and coastal …

Surface water transects and vertical profiles for dissolved iron, macronutrients, chlorophyll a
(Chl a), and hydrographic data were obtained in the Peru upwelling regime during August …

The geographic distribution, stocks and vertical profiles of phytoplankton of the seasonal ice
zone off east Antarctica were determined during the 2005–2006 austral summer during the …

The pigment compositions of 37 species (65 strains) of cultured haptophytes were analysed
using improved HPLC methods. We distinguished 8 pigment types based on the distribution …

This paper reports the initial results of a study of groundwater and coastal waters of southern
Brazil adjacent to a 240 km barrier spit separating the Patos Lagoon, the largest coastal …

The spatiotemporal distributions of major phytoplankton taxa were quantified to estimate the
relative contribution of different microalgal groups to biomass and bloom dynamics in the …
