Methods:

Water samples were collected at depth with a Van Dorn. Inorganic nutrient samples were filtered
in the field using 25 mm .2um Nalgene syringe filters.

Phosphorus, and ammonia samples were kept at 4 C in amber HDPE bottles until
being run according to standard methods (Strickland and Parsons, 1972).

Nitrate samples were frozen and shipped to MBL. Nitrate/nitrite was determined on an alp chem
autoanalyzer using an OTCR with method (AlpKem RFA method A303-S171).

Total dissolved Nitrogen samples were fixed with 100 ul/ 60ml 6N Ultrex HCL, shipped to MBL,
and stored at -20 C. Samples were was digested with potassium persulfate and nitrate + nitrite and nitrite
determined on an alp chem. autoanalyzer using a open tubular cadmium reactor (OTCR)
method (PN 000623 #8-92 rev B).

Total dissolved phosphorus samples were fixed with 100 ul / 60 ml using 6N Ultrex HCL, shipped
to MBL, and stored at 4 C.

Particulate Phosphorus, nitrogen and carbon samples were collected on pre-combusted 25 mm
GF/F filters. Filters were dried overnight at 55 C prior to shipment. Particulate phosphorus was
determined using methods of Stainton et al., (1974). Particulate Nitrogen and carbon were run on a Perkin
elmer CHN analyzer.
