Regarding the phytoplankton composition,
180 taxa were identified on the
222 samples collected over this study.
Figure 5 shows the relative biomass of
the NT2 phytoplankton community.
Chlorophyta (green algae) and Dinoflagellates
have dominated the assemblages.
The main NT2 phytoplankton
species with their associated scores
used for AARL-PP calculation are
shown in Table VI. The AARL-PP Score ranged between highest score in WW
season (AARL-PP score = 8) and lowest
ones at the beginning of WD season
(AARL-PP score = 4) (Fig. 6).
