Between 2017 and 2022, sediment labile organic matter, physico-chemical and nutrient content of the water column, biomass and C, N, P, S content of Sphaerococcus coronopifolius, a Rhodophyta that produced vegetative blooms in an area of the Orbetello lagoon (Italy) not far from the effluents of two land-based fish-farms, were examined and compared with an area even further away from that source where the species was not found. In order to understand the reasons for an important mat development in only one specific area, microcosm experiments were also carried out. Results suggest the species developed in dense and extensive mats under high orthophosphate and nitrate nitrogen ion concentrations conditions, behaving as an opportunistic species.
