Abstract
The coexistence of species of phytoplankton has been of interest since Hutchinson (1961) raised the “paradox” of many species sharing the same resources. Many investigations have considered competition between microalgae of different phyla (Goldman et al., 1982; Richmond et al., 1982) or genera (Tilman, 1981). Relatively little research has concerned closely related species.
