13. PHYTOPLANKTON PHOTOPHYSIOLOGY AND BIO-OPTICS.

The article discusses results of a study that determines the phytoplankton physiology as a proxy of iron stimulation. The study methodology is described, including immersion of the calibrated Chelsea Fastracka in a plastic tank with moon pool water continuously pumped through the dark cell of the instrument. An overview of the acquisition procedure set tup by Rüdiger Röttgers and his team in a previous experiment is given, including keeping the instrument running all the time and activation of a remote connection to have a remote control of the software when needed.
