Discriminating Approach of Various Microplanktonic‐stage Contributions to Whole ETS Measurements in Sea‐water Samples. a. Phytoplankton Data obtained from algal cell cultures were applied to various sea water samples in order to estimate the specific contribution of phytoplanktonic organisms to whole ETS (electron transport system) measurements of these samples which have been collected at eleven stations in the northwest Mediterranean Sea. When the phytoplankton ETS contributions were quantified by cell enumerations or by other indirect‐biomass‐indicator measurements, the results are in good accordance to the recorded ETS measurement values of the sample. More specific of the phytoplankton stage is the index used for such an estimation (as chlorophyll a ), and better is the relationship between both estimated and measured ETS values.
