Primary productivity off the Yorkshire coast with reference to fisheries productivity and recent implications on the wider environment Apr 1, 2022 - Mar 31, 2023
A previous project indicated that primary production is low at offshore stations in the important Yorkshire crustacean fishery area. Modelling showed that the water column is too deep and too well-mixed to support phytoplankton growth, partly as a r...
