The most important consideration is the chemical state of the iron. It must be in a reduced state, preferably iron sulfate. Oxidized iron is essentially useless to plants and phytoplankton. The iron fertilization experiment carried out by the Haida primarily used iron sulfate, and resulted in a 400 percent increase in Salmon populations.
