Resumen:
During the Austral spring 1995, we measured MAA concentrations in surfacewaters of Potter Cove (King George Island) to study the role of thesesunscreening compounds in phytoplankton photobiology during the time of theAntarctic ozone hole period. Our objective was to See whether MAAaccumulationis Part of the adaptive response of planktonic microorganisms toUV-B irradiance in Antarctic surface waters. Our null hypothesis was that UVBdoes not correlate with ths presence of MAAs in the natural environment ofPotter Cove,
