Natural microplankton from summer surface waters of the Weddell Sea was incubated in 10 1 Nalgene* flasks at -1 "C and irradiance 45 ~ E i n s t n 1 2 s l . Ambient nutrient concentrations were high enough to support rapid biomass accun~ulation. Maximum growth rates and generation times of the dominant diatom assemblages were determined by successive cell counts. Growth rates ranged from 0.38 to 1.33 divisions d l and generation times varied from 18.0 to 63.2 h d iv i s ion ' . Thus, rapid growth at low temperatures is possible; growth rates of Weddell Sea phytoplankton are comparable to those of temperate latitudes.
