Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus are analysed simultaneously with Total Filterable Nitrogen and Phosphorus using an analytical segmented flow analyser. The particulate fraction is calculated by the difference between total and total dissolved nutrient fractions. Phytoplankton pigments The concentration of photosynthetic pigments is used extensively to estimate phytoplankton biomass. All green plants contain chlorophyll a which constitutes approximately 1-2% of the dry weight of planktonic algae. Other pigments that
