Growth in the dinoflagellate dominated cubitainers |
We are a team from the Finnish Environment Institute and Tvärminne Zoological Station carrying out an experiment in Chile at the Estación Costera de Investigaciones Marinas (ECIM). We will describe our experience in this blog.

Sampling day: T7
The experiment is running nicely. On the first day we added different additions of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in the ratios 16 and 3. Nitrogen is the limiting nutrient and and when it starts to be depleted growth of the algae slows down and stops. This is what is happening now in our tanks, and more so in the low N:P ratio - just as expected :-)
