Year: 2016

The study aims to reveal the state of the primary production and microzooplankton grazing in 2008, which marks the end of the series of dry and hot years, through dilution experiments. In the dilution experiments, primary production, grazing rates and vertical integrations were calculated at different light intensities. Growth rates at higher light intensities were at maximum levels and constant, while grazing at the same light intensity was rapidly increased. Hence, there was a notable decrease
