Abstract
AMONG the radioisotopes which are assimilated differentially in light and dark by phytoplankton or macrophytes are phosphorus-321, zinc-652, strontium-89 and 903, molybdenum-994 and caesium-1375. This communication considers this effect for strontium-85 in relation to primary productivity.
