Results of a laboratory experiment examining growth, CO2- and NO2-fixation rates of the WH0003 isolate of Crocosphaera watsonii in response to different light intensities. WH0003 was isolated near Sta. ALOHA (A Long Term Oligotrophic Habitat Assessment) in the North Pacific Ocean near Hawaii (22 deg 45' N, 158 deg 00' W).
