Abstract
In April 1968 a bloom of Trichodesmium erythraeum occurred in great profusion in the Laccadives and largely occupied the upper few meters of the water. The chief characteristics of the environment during the bloom were the minimum nitrate-N and a sparse population of other phytoplankton and zooplankton. The ability of Trichodesmium to fix molecular nitrogen provides an important source of nitrogen enrichment which may make a substantial contribution to the nitrogen budget of tropical seas.
