Abstract
The estuary of the Little River, N.S.W. was mapped and measurements made of phytoplankton productivity, phosphorus content, chlorophyll 'a' content, zooplankton biomass, salinity, temperature and oxygen content. Phosphorus-32 and hydrogen-3 were injected into the estuary and the rate of movement of phosphorus-32 into the phytoplankton and zooplankton was calculated. The turnover time for phosphorus-32 in solution was approximately two hours.
