Abstract
We measured biomass and primary production of picophytoplankton (PicoPhy: 0.2–2 μm) and of autotrophic size fraction >2 μm in six deep ultraoligotrophic lakes in the Andean-Patagonian region (around 41°S) during summer stratification. Surface Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) ranged from 1277 to 1849 μmol photons m−2 s−1, and the euphotic zone, generally deeper than the mixed layer, varied between 28 m and 49 m. We found a strong...
