  abstract = {{A} selective chemical photosynthesis inhibitor, {DCMU} ({D}ichorophenyl-dimethylurea), dissolved in {DMSO} ({D}imethyl sulfoxide) was substituted for the dark incubation method commonly used to measure the oxygen consumption in metabolic and primary production studies. {W}e compared oxygen fluxes during light incubations with {DCMU} and dark incubations procedure, on soft bottom benthos. {F}or this purpose, we studied the effects of different {DCMU} concentrations. {A} concentration of 5.10-5 mol 1-1 inside a clear incubation enclosure completely inhibits photosynthesis without affecting the metabolism of soft bottom benthos.
