The algal growth potential and algal primary production rate of Antarctic streams (King George Island, South Shetlands) were measured in miniaturized algal bioassay to evaluate possible nutrient limitation and heavy metal inhibition. The bioassay proved nitrogen limitation in oligotrophic stream samples observed in the field. The heavy metal inhibition was not found.
