Experiments in The Fertilization of a Salt Water Pond

---

t has long been recognized that the biological productivity of the
sea depends primarily upon the nutrition of the phytoplankton. The
aim of these experiments was to study this basic process in the cycle
of production by the artificial increase of those plant nutrients most
likely to become limiting. For our purpose a body of water was re
quired which was large enough to be representative without excessive
water exchange due to tidal action, yet small enough to permit an
adequately conclusive study. Having selected a salt pond which met
these requirements, the specific objectives were 1) to determine
whether it is feasible to raise and maintain at high levels the concen
trations of phosphate and nitrate by the addition of commercial fer
tilizers, and 2) to observe the effects of such increases upon the standing
crop of phytoplankton.
