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

In recent years, there has been a widespread deployment of submersible fluorescence
sensors by water utilities. They are used to measure diagnostic pigments and estimate algae …

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

Emiliania huxleyi, an environmentally important marine microalga, has a bloom-and-bust
lifestyle in which massive algal blooms appear and fade. Phaeobacter gallaeciensis …

In the nearshore coastal waters along the Antarctic Peninsula, a recurrent shift in
phytoplankton community structure, from diatoms to cryptophytes, has been documented …

Several years ago, prochlorophyte picoplankton were discovered in the N. Atlantic. They
have since been found to be abundant within the euphotic zone of the world's tropical and …

The phytoplankton dynamics in the western Mediterranean Sea has been studied at the
DYFAMED (France JGOFS) time-series station from 1991 to 1999 by means of an analysis …

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 …

A reverse phase HPLC (hlgh performance liquid chromatography) technique using a binary
solvent system with a linear gradient on a Hypersilm MOS2 C-8 column is described. As well …

Pigment signatures were used to track the development and composition of a phytoplankton
bloom in the northeastern Atlantic during May/June 1990 using reversed-phase high …
