Full description

Water samples were collected for dissolved free amino acid (DFAA) analysis from 43 three stations on field trips to the Cairns Section of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park during the summers of 1992/93, 1993/94 and 1994/95. Eighty six of the total 197 DFAA samples were collected 1-7 days after heavy rainfalls caused by the passage of a tropical cyclone (Sadie in January 1994) or monsoonal activity.DFAA analysis was conducted by high performance liquid chromotography (HPLC).
