Primary Productivity Monitoring in the Antarctic using CTG FastOcean FRRf System Professor Andrew McMinn and his team from the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies, University of Tasmania have been using a Chelsea FastOcean Fast Repetition Rate fluorometer (FRRf) to gain an insight into primary production, photosynthesis and photosynthetic health in the Southern Ocean and Antarctic. His most recent deployments unearthed some new and interesting results relating to the physiological adaptations of Antarctic phytoplankton surviving in almost complete darkness under the E Antarctic sea ice. Chelsea's experts in FRRf will be demonstrating the FastOcean at Ocean Business (9-11 April, Southampton) - To reserve your free place, please contact Ellen Keegan - ekeegan@chelsea.co.uk.
