[1] All existing descriptions of nutrient distributions in the Strait of Gibraltar suggest that the Atlantic water brings to the Mediterranean Sea nutrients in the Redfield ratio (N:Si:P = 16:15:1). Here, the N:Si:P molar ratios (±Standard Error), obtained in April 1998, are used to show that in the Atlantic water at the western entrance of the Strait this ratio is lower (13.8(±0.5):12.1(±1.0):1) than the classical Redfield ratio; it is close to the Redfield ratio in the middle of the Strait… CONTINUE READING
