Abstract
⺠Growth and loss rates of phytoplankton measured in Lake Ontario. ⺠Rates measured in epilimnetic and metalimnetic waters using a variety of methods. ⺠The metalimnion contained a deep chlorophyll maximum (DCM) across the lake. ⺠Results suggest that the DCM is as active a layer as the epilimnion during the summer. ⺠DCM should be included in estimates of primary and secondary production.
