The concentrations of chelatable iron in Lake Kinneret, defined as the fraction bound by 8-oxyquinoline (oxine) ranged in the euphotic zone between 0.24 and 2.36 mu g l super(-1). This iron species represented an average of 8.1 and 5.0% of dissolved ionic (Fe sub(i)) and total iron (Fe sub(t)), resp...
