Abstract: | The accuracy of the Winkler technique for measuring dissolved oxygen was increased to 0.002–0.005 mg O2/l with a photometric endpoint detection method. This precision is valuable for accurate measurements of primary production
only if an oxygen release on illuminating dark adapted samples and the instability of the oxygen concentration of undersaturated
water are taken into account.
