prvi kongres hrvatskih znanstvenika iz domovine i inozemstva - HATZ

PRVI KONGRES HRVATSKIH ZNANSTVENIKA IZ DOMOVINE I INOZEMSTVAZagreb - Vukovar, 15. - 19. studenog 2004.P - 24MICROPHYTOPLANKTON COMPOSITION ACROSS THE FRONTALSYSTEM IN NORTHEN ADRIATIC (February, 2003)Cetinić, Ivona; Viličić, Damir; Burić, ZrinkaFaculty of Science, University of Zagreb, CroatiaMicrophytoplankton composition was analysed along two transects: Po-Novigrad (PoN)and Pula - Rimini (PR) in the Northern Adriatic Sea, during the February cruise 2003. ThePR transect was highly influenced by the freshwater discharge from the Po River.Complex frontal system was defined following gradient of salinity, temperature andmicrophytoplankton composition. Thermohaline gradient along the PR transect wasstronger than that along the PoN transect. According to salinity affinity, PCA analysis ofspecies abundance reveals existence of 4 characteristic groups of phytoplankton in thenorthern Adriatic.Presented on:Congress de Centre international pur l'explorationscientifique de la Mer MediterraneeBarcelona, Spain2. - 7. 06.2003.Principal Investigator : Dr.sc.
