The response of chlorophyll-protein complexes to super- and sub-saturatin -flux densities photon, PFD (250 mu mol quanta m-2 s-1 and 40 mu mol quanta m-2 s-1, respectively) were analyzed for Symbiodinium microadriaticum Freudenthal, the symbiont of the Caribbean jellyfish Cassiopeia xamachana; S. ka...
