5.  Description:  Respiratory rates of near-surface water from St Marys River for Survey cruise 2, October, 1995

6.  Keywords:  respiration, oxygen

7.  Research Location:  latitude-longitude

8.  Methods:  Precision Winklers of unfiltered river water before and after 12 h incubations at in-situ temperature in dark incubators aboard R/V Blue Fin.  See Pomeroy et al. 1994.  Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 60: 328-332 for detailed methods.

9.  Notes:  See also the data file 95LPDOXY.SAa for ambient dissolved oxygen concentrations in Savannah river water.
