HPLC Phytoplankton pigment concentration (MR17-05C)

Phytoplankton distributes in various species and sizes in the ocean were examined. Phytoplankton species are roughly characterized by the cell size. The objective of this study is to investigate the vertical and horizontal distributions of phytoplankton biomass and size in the Arctic Ocean, in terms of phytoplankton pigment, chlorophyll a, by using the size-fractionated filtration method.
