Figure 3

Seasonal variability in the surface water of Hamilton Harbour (1 m). Left and right columns show sites 9031 and 1001, respectively. (a1,b1) temperature (T), soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP), chlorophyll a (Chl-a), C-phycocyanin (PC) and phycoerythrin (PE). (a2,b2) Total particulate phosphorus (TPP) and polyP. (a3,b3) the ratios of polyP:PP ((>0.2 μm polyP: (>0.2 μm PP) and (>2 μm polyP): (>2 μm PP)), and APase:TPP (APase and APase:Chl-a have similar seasonal variabilities). (a4,b4) the ratios of polyP:Chl-a. (a5,a6) the ratios of polyP:PC and polyP:PE. Error bars indicate standard deviations of the mean for three replicate samples; error bars are not shown where they are smaller than marker size.
