Typically, thermal response is described as the steady state growth rates under static conditions.

Show moreQuantifying phytoplankton growth as a function of environmental conditions such as temperature is critical for understanding and predicting production in the ocean. Typically, thermal response is described as the steady state growth rates under static conditions. However, here, with a clonal culture of Heterosigma akashiwo, temperature was manipulated in the laboratory with the goal of describing how growth rates may change over time through the acclimation process. Growth rates and equivalent spherical diameter of Heterosigma akashiwo after temperature transition are reported.
