Extract

The primary productivity of an area of inshore sea in the South Orkney Islands was measured using in situ techniques in two consecutive seasons. Liberation of extracellular products of photosynthesis occurred, accounting for about 1 % of the total carbon fixed at the depth of maximum photosynthesis but rising to 38 % or more when photosynthesis was inhibited at high light intensities.
