Evaluación de la eficiencia fotosintética del fitoplancton en un lago amazónico (Lago Boa) y en un lago andino (Lago Guatavita)

Commonly relation between variable fluorescence and maximum fluorescence (Fv/Fm) of the algae community has been utilized like a measure of the phytoplanktonic photosynthetic efficiency. Such efficiency can be affected by the water bodies' location in different limnological provinces. The goal of this work was to establish the differences in the Fv/Fm rate between Lake Boa (150 masl Colombian Amazon) and Lake Guatavita (3000 masl, East Range in the Colombian Andes). In general, averages of the photosynthetic efficiencies were low (0.212 to 0.367 and 0.089 to 0.32 in lakes Boa and Guatavita, re...
