Fine-scale distribution of dominant Chaetoceros species in the Mali Ston and Gruž Bays (Southern Adriatic)

Seasonal and vertical distribution of Chaetoceros species were investigated in the Mali Ston and Gruž Bays with monthly samplings during two one-year cycles (1984-1985 and 1988-1989) at depth intervals of 1 meter. We identified 28 different species of Chateoceros. Seasonal alternations between mixing and stratification of water column in the Mali Ston Bay, affected Chaetoceros dynamics on a seasonal scale. Vertical distribution of dominant Cheatoceros spp. depended on the picnocline position in the water column.
