Description:Inorganic nutrients and dissolved oxygen concentrations from the available historical data set at three proposed Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) sites were reviewed. These sites are Puerto Rico, St. Croix, and northern Gulf of Mexico. These areas were centered near 17°55'N, 65°50'W; 17°50'N, 63°W; and 29°N, 88°W respectfully. Among the principal inorganic nutrients which regulate open ocean productivity are nitrate (NO3-N), phosphate (PO4-P), and silicate (Si03~Si). It is also pertinent that biological factors predominate in determining the distribution of oxygen in the sea.
