Abstract

Productivity contribution of phytoplankton in Kavaratti Atoll, Lakshadweep, was
studied for one year (Jan, to Dec, 1989) using light and dark bottle method. Gross
production (mg C/m%r) varied between 0.62±0.01 and 6.0±2.5 and net production
between 0.2±0.13 and 1.46±0.85. Gross production showed seasonal variations with
a fall during monsoon months (June-September). Productivity appeared highly
variable and limited by salinity as well as light conditions.
