I basically from M.Sc, M.phil (Marine Biology).I am working on phytoplankton ecology. I saw ur work experiences and I very much attracted to ur work, if there is any oppertunity to do some plankton ecology work with you, then I will be very happy. Thanking you Respected Maddom (Maria Vernet)

It was surprising finding such a bloom in the fall when days get shorter and grazing is high. I have never seen anything higher than 3 milligrams of chlorophyll per cubic meter after February and here we saw a bloom in excess of 10 mg m-3, as healthy and abundant as during the spring and summer. Glad you are reading the dispatches! I hope everything is well with you. Sincerely, Maria Hi Paul,

Or do I have something backwards here? - Paul Hi Maria – given the high NPP in the high latitudes, it’s interesting that finding blooms in the open waters was not expected.
