Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In situ primary productivity in phytoplankton assemblages was determined with chlorophyll fluorescence (CF) technique at a central site in north basin of Lake Biwa, and compared with that determined with a traditional oxygen evolution (O2) technique to verify the availability of CF technique. Linear regression analysis in the primary productivities obtained by CF technique (PCF) and those by O2 technique (PO2) showed good fit to the equation of PO2 = 0.91 PCF (r2 = 0.876, p < 0.01, n = 7), and the slope was not significantly different from 1. PCF continuously estimated during the study period varied from 0.28 to 6.59 g O2 m-2 d-1 (0.09-2.01 g C m-2 d-1), falling in the range of them from the previous literatures. High resolution of the daily productivity obtained in this study will allow them to precisely estimate the annual production in a lake.
