Differences in in vivo Fluorescence Yield for Netplankton and Nanoplankton Size Classes

Netplankton과 Nanoplankton 크기별 in vivo Fluorescence의 차이

In the South Sea of Korea, in vivo fluorescence intensity (IVF) and extractable chlorophyll a concentration were measured to determine whether there was significant defference in in vivo fluorescence per unit chlorophyll a (R) between netplankton and nanoplankton size classes (less than $22{\mu}m$). IVF and chlorophyll a were linearly related for both size classes, but R's were significantly different between two size classes. The R of nanoplankton was about 7 times higher than that of netplankton. Therefore, the size dependency of R must be taken into consideration when size fraction of phytoplankton biomass is determined from the measurements of in vivo fluorescence intensity.

식물플랑크톤의 엽록소 a 당 in vivo fluorescence 세기 (R)가 netplankton과 nanoplankton 사이에 차이가 있는지 남해에서 조사하였다. In vivo fluorescence (IVF)와 엽록소 a는 서로 다른 두 크기의 플랑크톤에서 자각 좋은 상관관계를 보였으나 비율 R은 netplankton과 nanoplankton 사이에 유의적으로 차이가 있었으며 nanoplankton의 R 값이 netplankton 보다 약 7배 높았다. 그러므로 IVF로 식물플랑크톤의 크기별 생물량을 측정할 때 R에 대한 식물플랑크톤 크기의 영향을 고려하여야한다.
