The weekly measurement of physico-chemical and biological parameters was done during the spring of 2008 in order to assess the level of eutrophication in the Kotor Bay. Chlorophyll a was used as trophic level indicator and its values varied from minimal 1.00 mg/cubic meter in June on the depth of 10 m to maximal 3.71 mg/cubic meter on the sea surface in May. According to Nixon criteria during investigation period it can be concluded that the area in question is oligotrophic. On the other hand, according to UNEP criteria which are somewhat stricter when the concentration of chlorophyll a is in question, Kotor Bay was mesoeutrophic area.
