Extract

A comparison is made of oxygen and phosphate data from the Fladen Ground. It is found that the conversion factor for oxygen:phosphorus given by Sverdrup et al. (1942) does not agree with the changes below the euphotic zone and an alternative factor is calculated. Problems concerning surface exchange and production are also discussed.
