Abstract
The primary productivity of the benthic microflora was measured using in situ techniques. Primary productivity ranged from below 0.5 mg C m−2 h−1 in winter when the sampling area was covered with ice to nearly 57.0 mg C m−2 h−1 in August. This is 8 times the productivity of the ice algae and twice that of the phytoplankton.Keywords
