(a) The ratio pigment : Chla, expressed in percent, is indicated in vertical bars (left axis). The bar color corresponds to some specific pigment as indicated in the legend. Pigment abbreviation is indicated in Table 1. The black continuous line is Chla concentration (mg/m3, right axis); (b) percentage contribution of phytoplankton size fractions microplankton, nanoplankton, and picoplankton to Chla. Black boxes separate those stations classified inside each bio-optical region (UG: Upper Gulf; NG: Northern Gulf; GI: Great Islands region).
