p.41 right column bottom paragraph:"Prochlorococcus dominates the picophytoplankton biomass with an average depth-integrated abundance of about 2×10^9 cells/cm^2 (primary source) that varies 2-fold annually with a maximum in summer which usually coincides with a deeper nitracline and shallower mixed layer (Campbell et al. 1996)." |
