Abstrakt:	Examines the relationship between mycosporine-like amino acids (MAA) concentration, in vivo ultraviolet absorption, photoprotective and photosynthetic pigments and photosynthetically available radiation of colonial Phaeocystis antarctica. Background on phytoplankton culture; Estimation of photosynthetically active absorption; Role of MAA as passive sunscreens; Absorption efficiency and sunscreen factors.
