Organisms studied
Methods:

Water samples were collected at depths 0,1,3,5,8,12,16 meters with a Van Dorn. Water was
filtered in the field using 47mm .045 um millipore HAE filters.

Phosphorus, ammonia and nitrate/nitrite samples were kept at 4 C in amber HDPE bottles until
being run on an ALP chem auto analyzer .

TDN samples were fixed with 1 ul/ml 6N ultrex HCL, shipped to MBL, and stored at -20 C.
Dissolved organic N was digested with potassium persulfate and determined on an alp chemm autoanalyzer
using a packed cadmium column and RFA method number AS303-S171-09 .

DOP samples were fixed with 1 ul/ml 6N ultrex HCL, shipped to MBL, and stored at 4 C.
Dissolved organic P was digested with potassium persulfate and determined on an alp chem autoanalyzer
using RFA methods

Particulate Phosphorus, nitrogen and carbon samples were collected on precombusted 25 mm
GF/F filters. Filters were dried overnight at 55 C prior to shipment and stored in ziplock freezer bags.
Particulate phosphorus was determined using methods of Stainton et al., (1974).

Particulate Nitrogen and carbon were run on a Perkin elmer CHN analyzer.
