Abstract

This paper contains data on the absorption spectra and pigment composition and concentration of 22 phytoplankton species. All phytoplankton cultures were taken from the Australian National Algae Culture Collection. Each absorption spectrum is accompanied by the pigment composition quantified using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC).

Keywords: Particulate absorption; Phytoplankton; Pigments.
