Abstract Influences of energy and particulate matter were experimentally reduced by eliminating the upper part of the euphotic zone, using a large sediment-seawater enclosure (SSE)in situ in Saanich Inlet, B.C., Canada. The standing stock of heterotrophic microorganisms, as determined by ATP concentration, in the experimental dysphotic zone was not appreciably affected, although the decreased supply of organic material did reduce their rate of nutrient uptake from the environment. In the mesotrophic level of the natural dysphotic zone, the turnover rate of glutamic acid remained near the initial rate by readjusting into a new balance.
