SEASONAL VARIATIONS IN BIOMASS, ABUNDANCE AND SPECIES DIVERSITY OF PHYTOPLANKTON IN THE ISKENDERUN BAY (NORTHEASTERN MEDITERRANEAN)
Abstract
Phytoplankton biomass. abundance, diversity and their relations with physico-chemical properties of water were determined in the northwestern part of the iskenderun Bay, northeastern Mediterranean coast of Turkey, Nine stations were sampled monthly from July 2000 to July 2001. Phytoplankton biomass, in terms of chlorophyll a values ranged from 0.05 to 2,7 mug.L-1 during the study period. Phytoplankton abundance was lowest in summer (2.64x10
