Modeling Phytoplankton Carbon Metabolism

Primary Productivity in the Sea

Abstract

At a 1977 meeting at the Bigelow Laboratories, there were two recurrent questions: (1) What is the value of the assimilation number? and (2) Do different values signify changes in the nutrient supply? The answers we would currently give to these questions are (1) there is a range of values determined primarily by the light regime in which the alga has grown, and (2) the assimilation number appears to be insensitive to nutrient stress except perhaps when the stress is very severe. The bases for these answers will be presented.
