Microphytoplankton in two Eastern Adriatic Estuaries

Microphytoplankton (MICRO) composition and abundance, including environmental factor measurements, were investigated in two southeastern Adriatic estuaries. The MICRO communities in estuaries are of marine origin. Diatoms and dinoflagellates were the most important MICRO constituents. The main feature of MICRO assemblages is the simultaneous dominance of more than one species. The reason for this can be found in the very frequent and rapid changes of environmental conditions in these dynamic ecosystems.
