Alkaline phosphatase activity (APA) is traditionally a proxy for phosphate (DIP)-limitation because it is induced by DIP-limited microbes to access the labile ester fraction of the organic phosphorus (OP) pool. Here, we present multi-year summertime depth distributions of APA and enzyme kinetics in the DIP-replete Celtic Sea. Our findings support the cumulating body of evidence that APA has a potentially widespread role in OP remineralization through the water column. APA and V-max were positively correlated with depth and DIP, with total APA being threefold higher below (0.93 +/- 0.32 nM P h(-1)) compared to above the thermocline (0.30 +/- 0.24 nM P h(-1), p
