Abstract A 3 h survey of the concentrations of individual free amino acids, chlorophyll a and phytoplankton species biomass was conducted in the surface waters of a shallow bay. Significant coefficients of correlation were found between chlorophyll a, nanoflagellates, and DFAA concentrations. Although phytoplankton biomass variations sometimes relate to DFAA concentration patterns, consideration of the physiological activity of both phytoplankton and microheterotrophs would undoubtedly explain a more significant fraction of the DFAA variation.
