This study seeks to elucidate the spatial and temporal patterns of toxic phytoplankton in coastal waters of the Balearic Archipelago
(NW Mediterranean Sea) in a multivariate approach. We also examine whether there is a direct relationship between the abundance
of toxic phytoplankton and the physical–chemical parameters and different human pressure...
The present study reports the phytoplankton composition and abundance from the coastal waters for the ecological status evaluation for the implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) in the Balearic Islands. The Cabrera Archipelago National Park has been taken as the undisturbed pristine reference area. A total of 251 species or genera ha...
Five species belonging to the family Prymnesiaceae (one Prymnesium and four Chrysochromulina) have been identified in cultures obtained from water collected in the Bay of Banyuls-sur-Mer (Mediterranean Sea, France) using LM, SEM, and TEM. Two are described as new species, Chrysochromulina lanceolata sp. nov. and C. pseudolanceolata sp. nov. Both sp...
Phytoplankton composition and distribution in a Mediterranean coastal drainage canal is discussed. The study includes the end portion of the Albufera of Majorca Gran Canal and it was studied from December 1992 to November 1994. Physical and chemical gradients are affected by fresh and marine water fluxes, which are responsible for phytoplankton het...
Two Mediterranean littoral systems of Mallorca Island have been studied using planktonic chlorophyll a (total concentration and seasonal variations) as trophic indicator. The studied systems are quite different in geomorphology, physicochemical trends and anthropic incidence. S'Albufera-Alcudia Bay is the drainage outlet of a coastal marsh, with a...
Phaeocystis cordata (Prymnesiophyceae) is cited for the first time for Balearic Islands, this is also the first citation for the genus Phaeocystis. The highest concentration of Phaeocystis in Maó Harbour, 4.7 . 105 cel/1, were recorded in March 2000. These algae show the nutrient-rich character of these coastal systems. Also due to their harmful po...

... As diatomáceas constituem um dos principais grupos microalgais em águas costeiras (DEVASSY; GOES, 1988;ESTRADA et al., 1999;PUIGSERVER;RAMON;MOYA, 2002) e representam os principais produtores primários da zona de arrebentação de praias arenosas (BROWN; MCLACHLAN, 1990;TALBOT;BATE;CAMPBELL, 1990). De acordo com Parsons, Takahashi e Hargrave (1984), as diatomáceas são registradas tanto em regiões costeiras quanto em oceânicas e sua riqueza taxonômica tem sido demonstrada para a maioria dos ambientes costeiros amazônicos, como observado nos trabalhos realizados por Sousa et al. (2008), na Ilha Canela (PA), Costa et al. (2011) Segundo Frenguelli (1928), é difícil estabelecer limites exatos no que se refere a uma separação nítida entre formas oceânicas e formas planctônicas neríticas, visto que há um grande número de espécies que podem ser encontradas em mar aberto, bem como próximo a costa. ...
... Cultures of Nitzschia navis-varingica, Heterocapsa pygmaea and Chrysochromulina alifera were isolated from the surface water of Mersin (36°46'N, 34°35'E) and Erdemli coast (36°60' N, 34°31'E) in the north-eastern Mediterranean Sea. References used for the identification of species were Lundholm & Moestrup, 2000;Iwataki et al., 2004;Parke & Manton, 1956;Puigserver et al., 2003. Cultures were grown in 100 mL Erlen-Meyer flasks with f/20-Si medium prepared with autoclaved seawater filtered through 0.45 µm pore size nitrocellulose membrane filters and kept in a climate chamber at 23 ± 2 C under 12-h light, 12-h dark cycle, emitted from OSAKA TL2001:6W cool white fluorescent tubes. ...
... Although oligotrophic conditions dominate the open waters of the Mediterranean Sea, several overpopulated coastal zones lead to elevated nutrient concentrations in adjacent coastal marine ecosystems 32,36,[47][48][49] . Excess nutrient loading, either from domestic and industrial effluents, or from fertilizers, farming and river fluxes, has transformed numerous oligotrophic near-shore waters into more mesotrophic or even eutrophic ecosystems [50][51][52][53][54][55][56] . ...
... Second, the oligotrophic status of the Mediterranean Sea (D'Ortenzio and d' Alcala, 2009;Estrada, 1996) few studies have focused on CIW. In fact, CIW have been largely ignored, except for reports based on single or monthly cruises carried out over a period of 1-2 years (Caroppo et al., 2001;Coste et al., 1972;Elsayed et al., 1994;Guadayol et al., 2009;Ignatiades et al., 1985;Leblanc et al., 2003;Lucena-Moya et al., 2009;Puigserver et al., 2010;Spatharis et al., 2008;Torres and del Rio, 1995), studies investigating river plumes (Romero et al., 2001;Troussellier et al., 2002), and studies investigating coastal organisms (Bravo et al., 2008;Vila et al., 2001b; and human health (Myers and Ainger, 2013), in which physicochemical data were reported as complementary information. ...

... The flowing water, less salted than the receiving waters (Puigserver et al, 1999), is discharged into the Torrent Riera, which flows into the Palma port waters. Although no analytical data of the discharges was provided the effects of these discharges will be commented in section 6. Respect silicates data, there is an abnormal value of 7.7 mg/l in the incoming waters; ...
