Abstract

      Annual frequency distribution histograms of nutrient concentrations and phytoplankton volume values provide valuable data in the ecological evaluation of seven Adriatic ecosystems. The most frequent, minimum and maximum values of analyzed parameters are proposed as indications of eutrophication and communication among different pelagic environments. The applicability of NT ratios as indications of limiting nutrient conditions is discussed.
