Marine Biology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Primary productivity studies were conducted at the White Sea Biological Station, Payakonda, during summer 1966. Oxygen and radio-carbon methods were employed; the oxygen method gave higher results. Variations in productivity due to tides were measured; low tide waters supported higher productivity rates.
