Summary

These data contain concentrations in micrograms per litre (ug/L) of the individual accessory pigments of phytoplankton measured by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Pigment samples were taken on Cefas fisheries surveys in the Celtic Seas, and sent to DHI laboratory in Denmark for HPLC analysis. Data was then sent back to Cefas and matched with metadata and quality controlled. Chlorophyll concentrations from this dataset have a variety of uses: for assessment of concentrations for purposes such as eutrophication assessments, validation of remote sensing derived chlorophyll estimates, as a proxy for phytoplankton biomass, or to calibrate fluorometers. Pigment concentrations can be applied like a fingerprint to derive phytoplankton functional types and give information about the phytoplankton community.
