Extract

The dependence of plant production in the sea on the presence of nutrient salts, especially nitrate and phosphate, and on illumination has been repeatedly demonstrated. The object of the present work was to find primarily whether, and to what degree, plant and animal production could be increased by adding fertilizers to an enclosed body of sea water under otherwise natural conditions.
