Distribution and seasonal variation of picoplankton in Sanggou Bay, China

Picoplankton abundance and biomass in Sanggou Bay, China, were investigated in 4 successive seasons (April, August and October 2011, January 2012). Different distribution patterns of picoplankton abundance and biomass were observed according to season and culture areas (bivalves or macroalgae). Syne...

Distribution and seasonal variation of picoplankton in Sanggou Bay, China
description Picoplankton abundance and biomass in Sanggou Bay, China, were investigated in 4 successive seasons (April, August and October 2011, January 2012).
