Abstract
Photosynthetic oxygen evolution from Antarctic macroalgaAdenocystis utricularis, collected from littoral zone of Admiralty Bay of King George Island (South Shetland), was measured under standard laboratory conditions during a 9-month study period. During autumn and winter the photosynthetic apparatus of the alga revealed an increased capacity to use low irradiance. This coincided with increasing concentrations of chlorophyll a+c. In parallel respiration rates measured at the average monthly water temperature were lower in winter than in summer.
