“…Assessing 90% of the phytoplankton biomass in the microscope, as recommended by Willén (1976), would not have revealed the presence of phytoplankton groups other than diatoms in the Si-enriched enclosures during the last 5 d of the experiment (Figs. 2 & 5).…”

“…2 & 5). This fact is important, because an analysis based on microscopy assessing 90% of the phytoplankton biomass would have characterised samples taken from the Si-enriched enclosures during the last 5 d of the investigation period as environments with low phytoplankton diversity, with only 3 diatom species present (Willén 1976, Margalef 1978. In contrast, both epifluorescence microscopy and pigment analyses using the CHEMTAX program revealed the presence of at least 4 additional algal classes, making up a 'background population' in the diatom-dominated environments that was similar to that in the enclosures without silicate enrichment (Figs.…”

“…and qualitative analysis of phytoplankton: For algal counting, the simplified methods described by Willen (1976) and Hobro and Willen (1977) were followed. Counts of phytoplanktonic algae (unicellular, colonial or filamentous) were expressed as cells per liter.…”

“…Phytoplankton counts were done using a Wild inverted microscope following the Utermöhl technique [24] . For counting, the simplified methods described by Willen and Hobro-Willen was followed [25,26] . The counts of phytoplanktonic algae (unicellular, colonial or filamentous) expressed as cells per mL.…”
