Abstract

[We have already seen that in the water column in the Antarctic there are two well-defined seasons of production. This strong temporal asymmetry could be summarized as one highly productive period coinciding with spring and summer, and another when the light begins to disappear, putting to sleep the biological machinery set in motion by phytoplankton, coinciding with autumn and winter. Like virtually every aquatic system, the Antarctic bottom also depends on these algae to function.]
