This paper reports on an attempt to estimate carbon and nitrogen flow, from phytoplankton through the bacterioplankton, in the SIBEX I survey area. The work was included in the SIBEX I programme as an adjunct to the main thrust of the programme but with a view to identifying processes deserving of further study during SIBEX II. From the data it seems likely that regenerated nitrogen may contribute 50 % or more of phytoplankton requirements, and chemoautotrophic nitrification rates below the euphotic zone are likely to be of importance in sustaining the high values for nitrate normally observed in Antarctic waters.
