摘要: Eutrophication is a major problem in coastal water bodies. Information about the trophic status of water bodies will enable proper management of coastal ecosystems. In this regard, biological organisms which are sensitive to environmental changes can serve as indicators of ecosystem trophic status. In this study, seasonal and spatial variations of picophytoplankton (PP;< 3 μm size) community structure was assessed in the Cochin backwaters (CB) with respect to the prevailing environmental conditions during three …
