Phytoplankton samples were taken by bottles from different depths between 0 - 150 m with up to 15 replicates per depth horizon. Samples were concentrated by back filtration using nucleopore filters (D
Samples from 2 l of sea water were filtered through polycarbonate Millipore. The filters were kept deep frozen and analyzed according to Holm-Hansen et al. (Holm-Hansen, O., Lorenzen, C.J., Holmes, R.
