| Abstract: | From field and laboratory experiments it has been observed that low concentrations (ppb) of mineral hydrocarbons can cause an increase in photosynthesis among the nanoplankton. In field experiments, the increase in photosynthetic activity among the nanoplankton led to a bloom of µ-flagellates predominated by a member of the Haptophyceae,Chrysochromulina kappa. |
