Immunochemical Approaches to the Identification of the Ultraplankton: Assets and Limitations

  • Conference paper
Book cover Novel Phytoplankton Blooms

Part of the book series: Coastal and Estuarine Studies ((COASTAL,volume 35))

Abstract

During the past decade, it has become obvious that most photosynthetic cells are exceedingly small. We now realize that 50– 80% of the primary production in the open ocean takes place in cells capable of passing through a 3 μm polycarbonate filter (Platt et al., 1983; Li et al., 1983; Glover et al., 1986a). This size fraction is termed the ultraplankton.
