Extract

A seasonal survey of particulate and dissolved organic material was made at E1 in the English Channel during 1968. The average integral mean values were: dissolved organic carbon 65 μg-at C/l (780 μg C/l); dissolved organic nitrogen 4·6 μg-at N/l (64 μg N/l); dissolved organic phosphorus 0·12 μg-at P/l (3·8 μg P/l); particulate organic carbon 190 μg C/l and particulate organic nitrogen 21 μg N/l. Dissolved organic carbon and the particulate organic carbon and nitrogen showed increases subsequent to the spring bloom; such increases were less evident in the dissolved organic nitrogen results and not apparent in those of dissolved organic phosphorus.

Analyses were also made in March and June in 1969 at two other stations in the English Channel, in addition to E1. The results from the three stations were basically similar.
