Table 2 Input and output matrices for the CHEMTAX-oriented analysis from 21 July 1997 to 18 August 1997. A dinoflagellate bloom was strongly dominated by Karenia mikimotoi (formerly Gyrodinium aureolum) (>90% of the carbon) and required a special initial marker pigments-Chl a ratio matrix for this period because its pigment composition differs from the normal pigment composition of dinoflagellates (peridinin as a marker carotenoid; Wright and Jeffrey 1997). K. mikimotoi has 19′-hexanoyloxyfucoxanthin and fucoxanthin instead of peridinin (Johnsen and Sakshaug 1993). Per Peridinin, but 19’-butanoyloxyfucoxanthin, fuco fucoxanthin, hex 19’-hexanoyloxyfucoxanthin, ddx diadinoxanthin, all alloxanthin, zea zeaxanthin, lut lutein
