Thingstad et al. (Reports, 12 August 2005, p. 1068) reported that in situ mesoscale phosphorus enrichment of the eastern Mediterranean Sea altered selected biological parameters and concluded that the added phosphorus was rapidly transferred from bacteria to mesozooplankton. However, because of a lack of replication and a misinterpretation of their statistical analyses, that conclusion is not supported by the data.
廷斯塔德等人（《报告》，2005年8月12日，第1068页）报告称，地中海东部的中尺度原位磷富集改变了某些生物学参数，并得出结论，添加的磷迅速从细菌转移到中型浮游动物。然而，由于缺乏重复实验以及对其统计分析的错误解读，该数据并不支持这一结论。
