Abstract
In October 1981, relatively high concentrations of surface phytoplankton (chlorophyll a~1.5 �g1-1 relative to a background of ~0.4 �g 1-1) were observed in a cyclonic crescent of cool water along the south-eastern margin of a warm-core eddy in the south-westem Tasman Sea. Associated with this phytoplankton peak were relatively high concentrations of surface nitrate (~50�g I-1), low concentrations of oxygen (Keywords
