  abstract = {{T}he in vivo specific absorption coefficient of phytoplankton a*ph (lambda) was measured along an equatorial transect in the {P}acific {O}cean during the {JGOFS}-cruise in {O}ctobre 1994 in order to validate bio-optical models of primary production. {T}he fiber filter technique was used on board, as well as spectrofluorometry for pigment determination and flow cytometry for cells counting. {T}he a*ph (435-441 nm) walues strongly decreased from oligotrophic to mesotrophic waters (between 170°{E} and 153°{W}). {T}his zonal variation reflected a change in phytoplankton composition, dominated by #{P}rochlorococcus$ in the oligotrophic zone and by picoeucaryotes in the mesotrophic one. {S}uch variations in a*ph have to be taken into account for estimating primary production of the equatorial {P}acific {O}cean from ocean colour imagery.
