Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
Primary production by picoplankton and other phytoplankton has been measured in all seasons in the Celtic Sea. Picoplankton production was greatest during the summer but was always less than that of small nanoplankton which accounted for most of the primary production throughout the year. Large phytoplankton (> 5 ym) was quantitatively the most important only for a short period of the spring diatom bloom. In winter, small nanoplankton (t 5 to > 1 pm) accounted for almost 70 % and picoplankton for 13 % of the daily primary production. Annual phytoplankton production was 102 g C m-2 yr-1 (excluding production of dissolved organic carbon, which was about 10 to 15% of the particulate production). Phytoplankton >5pm fixed 37.89g C m-2 yr-1 but half of this production occurred during the spring diatom bloom in April. Small nanoplankton (< 5 to > 1 pm) fixed 41.86g C m-2 yr-1 and picoplankton (< 1 pm) fixed 23 06g C m-2 yr-1 |
