Abstract
- We investigated the influence of high light stress on iodocarbon release by three species of marine phytoplankton from different algal classes: the prymnesiophyte Emiliania huxleyi, the prasinophyte Tetraselmis sp., and the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana. Despite a pronounced decrease in the fluorescence-based maximum quantum yield for photosystem II (F v /F m ), increased iodocarbon release relative to lower light controls was not observed in any of the experiments performed. These findings do not support the hypothesis that upper-ocean iodocarbon concentrations are influenced by light-induced algal stress.
