To establish effective water quality monitoring strategies in estuaries, it is imperative to
identify and understand the main drivers for the variation of water quality parameters. The …

The utility of a multiple-fixed-wavelength spectral fluorometer, the Algae Online Analyser
(AOA), as a means of quantifying phytoplankton biomass and community composition was …

Rates of microzooplankton grazing and phytoplankton growth are seldom measured with
respect to time, yet such estimates may better reflect temporal variability in coastal …

Water quality management strategies focus primarily on reducing nutrient loading in
estuaries to limit total chlorophyll a (chl a) to less than 40 μg l− 1. However, potential …

The significance of microzooplankton as grazers in pelagic ecosystems has been
established, yet relatively few studies of microzooplankton grazing, compared to that of …

Toxic species of the diatom genus Pseudo-nitzschia, observed worldwide from coastal
waters to the open ocean, produce the neurotoxin domoic acid (DA). DA is an important …

Species of the diatom genus Pseudo-nitzschia can produce domoic acid (DA), a neurotoxin
responsible for amnesic shellfish poisoning. This release of DA by toxic Pseudo-nitzschia …

Coastal environments are vulnerable to land development due to human population growth
that has increased nitrogen and phosphorus loading into receiving estuaries. As a result …

In November 2019, a first joint Chilean–Argentinian research cruise was conducted along
the eastern section of the Beagle Channel (BC). Here we present the results of the microbial …

One of the significant aspects of estuarine water quality assessment is to discern the effect of
tide on the environmental parameters. The variability of different physical, chemical, and …
