Abstract
Frontal regions of high [phytoplankton] chlorophyll fluorescence in the Strait of Georgia were compared with calculated values of the stability expression. Boundary areas of high chlorophyll existed at the northern and southern ends of the Strait as well as among the different island groups. These results were used to discuss earlier differences noted in average annual primary productivity values of the Strait of Georgia, as observed over the last decade.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
