Effect of accessory pigment composition on the absorption characteristics of dinoflagellate bloom in a coastal embayment

Effect of accessory pigment composition on the absorption characteristics of dinoflagellate bloom in a coastal embayment

The light absorption properties of a dinoflagellate (Noctiluca scintillans Macartney) bloom in Manila Bay were analysed during the onset of a whole-bay-scale bloom in March 2004. The chlorophyll a concentrations varied over a very wide range from 1.4 μg l−1 to extremely high values of 521 μg l−1. Th...
