Abstract Changes in oxygen and nitrate in Bahia Darwin between July 1968 and March 1969 indicate that denitrification occurred in the deeper waters of this tropical, intermittently anoxic basin. Assuming constant rates of oxidation of organic matter in equally spaced depth intervals below the pycnocline depth, the rate of denitrification was estimated to be about 62.0 µg-atom NO3-N/liter/year. This rate is attributable to denitrification in the water column because a smaller rate was estimated for strata closer to the sediment water interface.
