are sequentially "moved" to conveyors (Figures 8.5 and 8.6). For this
model, the lifetime of a cell is 4 days. A minimum population of 50 cells/rn'
is maintained for each group.
8.2.4. Nutrient Concentrations
and Nutrient Requirements
Nutrient concentrations for both Si and N are expressed as the number of
moles in the cubic-meter parcel of water. The loss of nutrients over time is
a function of the uptake rate per phytoplankton cell and the total number
