Photosynthetic capacity in coral reef systems: Investigations into ecological applications for the underwater PAM fluorometer

Jones AB and Dennison WC ·
1998

A submersible pulse amplitude modulated (PAM) fluorometer was used to determine the effects of desiccation, ultraviolet radiation, changes in solar radiation and nutrient availability on the photosynthetic apparatus of a variety of marine plants (zooxanthellae, benthic microalgae and macroalgae) at Heron Island, Great Barrier Reef, Australia. The PAM measures photosynthesis as irradiance-dependent photosystem II electron transport.

Influence of Nitrogen Source and Availability on Amino Acids, Pigments and Tissue Nitrogen of Gracilaria edulis (Rhodophyta)

Jones AB ·
1994

Increasing eutrophication of coastal marine environments has led to the development of nutrient sampling programs to monitor water quality. Various shortcomings of chemical analyses have identified the need to develop biological indicators (bioindicators) that can be used to detect available nutrient concentrations. Macroalgal tissue nutrient content, pigments, and amino acids appear to be responsive to water column nutrient availability.
