The apparent paradox of high nutrients/low phytoplankton populations in some areas of the open ocean has challenged oceanographers for many years. Hypotheses to explain it include the regulation of productivity by light, temperature, zooplankton grazing, and trace metal limitation and/or toxicity in these regions. To date, none of the hypotheses, or combinations thereof, has emerged as a widely accepted explanation for why the nitrogen and phosphorus are not depleted in these areas of the oceans. Recently, new evidence has supported the hypothesis that iron deficiency limits phytoplankton growth in Subarctic and Antarctic waters. This evidence has stimulated discussions of the feasibility of fertilizing parts of the oceans with iron, and thus sequestering additional atmospheric CO2 in the deep oceans where it would be bound over the next few centuries. The economic, social, and ethical issues surrounding such a proposition, along with the outstanding scientific issues, justify rigorous discussion, debate, and publication on the topic of regulation of productivity in these regions. To this end, The American Society of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO) held a symposium on the topic of "What controls phytoplankton in nutrient-rich areas of the open sea?" ASLO now seeks funding to cover the costs of publishing a special symposium issue of Limnology and Oceanography, to provide a written record of the symposium proceedings.

高营养盐/低浮游植物的明显矛盾 在公海的一些地区， 海洋学家多年来 解释它的假设包括 光、温度、浮游动物对生产力的调节 放牧和微量金属限制和/或毒性， 地区 到目前为止，没有一个假设或组合 这是一个被广泛接受的解释，解释了为什么 氮和磷在这些地区没有耗尽， 海洋. 最近，新的证据支持了这样一种假设， 缺铁限制了亚北极浮游植物的生长， 南极沃茨。 这一证据引发了关于 用铁覆盖部分海洋的可行性， 从而将更多的二氧化碳封存在深海中 在接下来的几个世纪里它将被绑定在那里。 的 经济，社会和道德问题围绕这样一个 命题，沿着突出的科学问题， 证明对该主题进行严格的讨论、辩论和出版是合理的 对这些地区生产力的调节。 为此中央 美国湖沼学和海洋学学会（ASLO）在2012年10月举行了一次 专题讨论会上的主题“是什么控制浮游植物在 营养丰富的海域“ASLO现在正在寻求资金， 支付出版专题讨论会特刊的费用 湖沼学和海洋学，以提供一个书面记录， 专题讨论会论文集。
