LOHAFEX Gained Crucial Insights Into The Marine Biology
You are at: Oilgae Blog.
The LOHAFEX team found that though the algae mass doubled in size after four tonnes of dissolved iron was dropped in a 300 sq km patch of ocean, most of it was quickly eaten away by a crustacean zooplankton species. “This grazing resulted in most of the CO2 trapped by the algae to be recycled into the air,” said Dr S W A Naqwi from National Institute of Oceanography (NIO), Goa, who was co-chief scientist of the project.
