herbivory

 PI:              Michael R. Landry
 of:              University of Hawaii
 dataset:         Phytoplankton growth, microzooplankton herbivory
 project/cruise:  AESOPS/KIWI07; APFZ Process 1
 ship:            R/V Roger A. Revelle

Methods:  Community rate estimates were made by seawater dilution per JGOFS
          protocols. They are based on HPLC-derived chlorophyll a values.
          Full methods are described in:
