Abstract

Abstract

Cell size differs greatly between species of phytoplankton.The routine estimation of standing stock as cell numbers is therefore an imprecise and sometimes even inadequate measure of phytoplankton abundance, only the biomass can represent the energy distribution in ecosystem more precisely.The relationship between cell carbon and cell volume has been sought in order to estimate phytoplankton carbon in seawater from preserved phytoplankton samples.Bases on the original data of the Jiaozhou Bay Ecosystem Dynamics, cell volume calculations for 87 phytoplankton species were analyzed for the China sea and we calculated the cell size, five weigh, carbon content and nitrogen content of phytoplankton.
- Phytoplankton,
- cell volume,
- plasma volume,
- biomass,
- carbon content
