Abstract/Contents

Abstract: Phytoplankton are an important factor in supporting life on this planet. Therefore, it is important to understand phytoplankton productivity. This study examines how phytoplankton production varies in different locations and environments. This study examines phytoplankton of the nutrient rich waters of Palmyra Atoll and the oligotrophic North Pacific gyre. By comparing the results of this experiment, it is possible to make conclusions about where, when, and why phytoplankton production might be higher in some areas than in others.
