Abstract
The photosynthetic process of phytoplankton is the basis of the material circulation and energy flow of the ecosystem. The rapid and accurate measurement of phytoplankton photosynthesis rate is of great significance to water ecological environment monitoring, marine resource assessment and global climate change prediction. On the basis of "Bio-Optical" model, a photosynthetic rate measurement method based on tunable pulsed light induced fluorescence kinetics was put forward in this paper. The chlorophyll fluorescence was used as the probe of photosynthesis process, and the phytoplankton photosynthetic rate was evaluated by the photosynthetic electron transport rate. Comparative experiment results showed that the photosynthetic electron transport rate measured by fluorescence kinetic method under different conditions of DCMU, culture light and nutrients (nitrogen) were consistent with the photosynthetic oxygen evolution rate measured by oxygen evolution method, and the correlation coefficient R2 were 0.934, 0.957 and 0.955 respectively.
