Abstract



The contribution of the nannoplankton to the total productivity was studied for nine months in coastal waters of Cochin, Kerala, India. On an average, nannoplankton accounted for 66.40% of the observed productivity. The mean assimilation ratios between the total algal and nannoplankton fraction were very low (1.29 and 0.94 respectively)
