Title: ECOHAB: Tester_P- Gulf of Mexico Chlorophyll- Sept 1998 (NODC Accession 0000537)
Abstract: Chlorophyll a is a standard measure for phytoplankton
biomass. Routinely, samples for extracted chlorophyll a
values are filtered at sea, stored in liquid nitrogen,
transported on dry ice and kept at -80 degrees Celsius until
extracted. These values are used to examine the relationship
between Karenia brevis cell counts, water column toxin
levels and chlorophyll a pigment content.

Supplementary information: ECOHAB (ECology and Oceanography of Harmful Algal Blooms) is
a scientific program designed to increase understanding of
the fundamental processes underlying the impacts and
population dynamics of HABs. This program addresses the many
factors at organismal, population, community, and ecosystem
levels that determine how HAB species respond to, and
potentially alter their environment, the manner in which HAB
species affect food-web and community interactions. The
program is based on the results of a workshop co-sponsored
by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
and National Science Foundation (NSF) and currently receives
funding from several federal partners including NOAA, NSF,
the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA).
