| During the ANTARES 3 cruise in the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean in October-November 1995, the surface waters of Kerguelen Islands plume, and the surface and deeper waters (30-60 m) along a transect on 62 degrees E from 48 degrees 36'8 to the ice edge (58 degrees 50'S), were sampled. The phytoplankton community was size-fractionated (2 mu m) and cell numbers, chlorophyll biomass and carbon assimilation, through Rubisco and beta-carboxylase activities, were characterized. The highest contribution of <2 mu m cells to total biomass and total Rubisco activity was reported in the waters of the Permanent Open Ocean Zone (POOZ) located between 52 degrees S and 55 degrees S along 62 degrees E. In this zone, the picophytoplankton contributed from 26 to 50%... |
