Winter and summer distribution of dissolved oxygen, pH and nutrients at the heads of fjords in Chilean Patagonia with possible phosphorus limitation

“…This inlet system is one of the least studied marine areas of the whole Patagonia (Silva & Palma 2006). Oceanographic data focused on the fjords adjacent to the South Ice Camp are scarce and limited to physical characteristics of the water column (Chuecas & Ahumada 1980, Pinochet & Salinas 1996. Data for nutrients are almost non existent with the solely exception of an unpublished gross indication of the general profile up to 100 m of depth by the end of winter (middle August, Pizarro et al 1995) and the more widespread information obtained in October 1996 (Silva & Calvete 2002).…”
