Highest pigment concentrations were associated with the transitional zones between Slope Water, the Gulf Stream and northern Sargasso Sea. Chlorophyll b occurred in 47% of the samples analyzed and the dominant chlorophyll a degradation product was phaeophorbide a. Chlorophyll a was usually found at low concentrations and phaeophytin a levels were undetectable. Concentrations of the various chlo- rophylls and their degradation products were used to infer changes in taxonomic composition, phyto- plankton biomass and zooplankton grazing pressure across several frontal zones.

Some limnological methods and concepts have been used to establish simple relationships between phytoplankton biomass (as measured by chloro- phyll), nutrient concentrations and nutrient inputs. These relationships demonstrate that the response of lagoons to given loading conditions can differ from that of lakes, due in particular to the marine origin of phytoplankton species, the dilution of lagoon water by nutrient-poor seawater and N-limitation rather than P-limitation.
