Table 4 Input and output matrices for the CHEMTAX-oriented analysis from 7 May 1998 to 11 May 1998. The haptophyte bloom was dominated by Phaeocystis pouchetii and required a special initial marker pigments-Chl a ratio matrix because its pigment composition, with fucoxanthin as a marker pigment, differs from the general pigment composition of haptophytes with 19′-hexanoyloxyfucoxanthin as a marker carotenoid (Jeffrey and Wright 1994). Per peridinin; but 19’-butanoyloxyfucoxanthin; fuco fucoxanthin; hex 19’-hexanoyloxyfucoxanthin; ddx diadinoxanthin; all alloxanthin; zea zeaxanthin; lut lutein
