| Abstract: | Lakes Purrembete, Bullenmerri and Gnotuk are relatively deep lakes with salinities of 0.4 , 8 and 58 respectively. From Carbon-14 experiments conducted monthly over a year annual primary production was 96.2, 182.1 and 90.1 gCm-2. These values correlate well with chlorophyll-a in Purrumbete and Bullenmerri, but not in Gnotuk. There is considerable dark fixation in both the saline lakes. |
