Southern Ocean primary production derives largely from microalgal               photosynthesis in the water column and in sea ice.  While production in         open waters appears low, production in the marginal ice zones appears to        be high.  Recent evidence suggests that sea ice production may account          for a substantial fraction of Southern Ocean ecosystem production.  This        Accomplishment-Based Renewal proposal will continue the sea-ice algal           productivity studies carried out by Dr. Sullivan and his team.  Their           results and those of others suggest that ice algal productivity is              limited by light availability and temperature rather than nutrient              availability.  This project will focus on the photobiology of individual        sea ice microalgal species using high resolution microphotometric               techniques, high performance liquid chromatographic techniques, and             track microautoradiography.  Laboratory efforts will characterize the           photosynthetic parameters for the individual species which dominate in          various microhabitats of the Antarctic sea ice system.  This will               provide the data set necessary for the development of models of sea ice         ecosystem productivity.
