Phytoplankton Production
in the Southeastern Indian Ocean
S. Z. EL-SA YED and H. R. JITIS
The main interest in this paper is to present the data on primary production and the
standing stock of phytoplankton collected during "Eltanin" cruise 46, 20 Nov. 197020 Jan. 1971 (EL-SAYED, 1971). Efforts will be made to correlate the productivity data

with the physical and chemical parameters studied. Attention should be drawn to the
preliminary nature of the results presented here which will assume more meaning as a
more detailed analysis of the data is completed and as additional findings are published
from this multi-discipline cruise, which was a part of the U.S. Antarctic Research Program
in the SoutherJ1 Ocean. A total of 19 stations were occupied. Stations 8, 9, 10, 11, 13 and
14, were occupied in pack ice (Fig. 1).
