Phytoplankton size structure and species composition as an indicator of trophic status in transitional ecosystems: the case study of a Mediterranean fjord-like karstic bay

Phytoplankton size structure and species composition as an indicator of trophic status in transitional ecosystems: the case study of a Mediterranean fjord-like karstic bay

The species composition and size-structure of the phytoplanktoncommunity in the Boka Kotorska Bay (SE Adriatic Sea) were analysed withrespect to abundance and carbon biomass, together with the physico-chemicalparameters, with the aim of evaluating the predefined oligo-mesotrophicstatus of this trans...
