Abstract

The spectra of chlorophyll c, beta carotene, neofucoxanthin A, neofucoxanthin B, fucoxanthin, diadinoxanthin and diatoxanthin in 90% acetone solutions are reported. These constants are necessary for the simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of the major plankton pigments described.
