Abstract
The productivity:biomass (P:B) ratio for phytoplankton was studied using a replicated sampling design at six stations in a small marine basin. On six out of ten sampling days, statistically significant differences were revealed in the P:B ratios between stations. This result is consistent with the concept of contemporaneous disequilibrium which emphasizes the spatial component of the heterogeneity of the phytoplankton habitat.
