    • Fig. 1 Relationship between chlorophyll a concentration (X: µg L-1) and number density of Karenia selliformis cells (Y: cells mL-1).

      This equation indicates that the amount of chlorophyll a in the cells of Karenia selliformis is 37 pg cell-1. Using this formula, it is possible to estimate the cell number density of K. selliformis from the chlorophyll a concentration that can be detected from satellites.
