An instrument package carrying pH and O2 electrodes and a thermister was floated across a reef flat. Using equations associated with the alkalinity anomaly technique, and by making certain assumptions, the producitivity and calcification rates of the reef flat were calculated. At an average light intensity of 800 .mu.E [microeinstein] .cntdot. m-2 .cntdot. s-1, the average net O2 production was 21.5 mmol O2 .cntdot. m-2 .cntdot. h-1 and the average rate of calcification was 11.0 mmol CaCO3 .cntdot. m-2 .cntdot. h-1. Results showed 3 metabolic zones within the transect which corresponded to zonation seen in an aerial photograph and confirmed by benthic surveys.
