Changes of phytoplankton quantity in the Montenegrin coastal sea [Adriatic sea] through summer, 2003
2004
Vuksanovic, N.(Institut za biologiju mora, Kotor (Serbia and Montenegro))
Investigations of phytoplankton in the Montenegrin coastal sea through summer (June, July, August) 2003 are described in this paper. They represent continuation from the previous years, and especially from 2001 and 2002. Maximum microphytoplankton quantity is found in the area of the bay (Kotor Bay) during June 3.9 x 10**6 cell/cubic dm, with the dominance of Nitzschia delicatissima (99%). This species was found with high percentage (more than 50%) during July and August, too. Leptocylindrus minimus and Skeletonema costatum, which were dominant in the previous period, through this year were slightly presented. In the area outside the Bay of Boka Kotorska, microphytoplankton was presented with quantities cell between 10**3 and 10**5 cell/cubic dm. Mean values of microphytoplankton in the area of the Boka Kotorska Bay were in 2003 year 4.6 times higher than outside the Bay. The same ratio was found for nanophytoplankton, too.
