Summary

This appendix updates Appendix 1 by Jeffrey and Mantoura (1997) in the 1997 SCOR Phytoplankton Pigment book (Jeffrey et al., 1997). The recommendations given herein recognize that identification criteria range from the ideal to the practical, depending on the nature of the sample.

When analysing algal pigments, the various pigments detected should always be compared with authentic standards. Some standards are commercially available (see Appendix E), others must be isolated from an appropriate source (see Data sheets and Appendix D).
