Figure II.A.4. Growth contour plots. Examples of growth contour plots generated from data

obtained by the use of a temperature-gradient table. The contour lines represent interpolated

values indicating where a particular combination of temperature and salinity would result in a

given growth rate. The data shown, given as doublings$day) represent the exponential growth

of Monoraphidium sp. (S/MONOR-2) in semicontinuous culture. Each point represents the mean

of at least five separate daily growth rate determinations. (Source: Barclay et al. 1987.)
