Evolution of daily average areal astaxanthin productivity \({\overline{\mathrm{S}} }_{\mathrm{asta}}\) of H. pluvialis during sudden nitrogen starvation of batch cultures exposed to PFD of 250 µmolhν m−2 s−1 with initial biomass concentrations \({\mathrm{C}}_{{\mathrm{x}}_{0}}\) equals to 0.21, 0.52, 1.39 and 2.21 kg m−3 as a function of daily average mean rate of photon absorption < \(\overline{\mathcal{A} }\)>. Data shown as mean ± SD, n = 3
