Abstract
Five stations in the Saronikos Gulf were studied during 1983–1984. One located in Elefsis Bay an industrial area, and the others, located at a distance where the effects of effluents were minimized. A differential discharge of untreated urban wastes and industrial effluents adds to the distinctiveness of the two parts. Various physical, chemical and biological (Chlorophyll‐a, phytoplankton, Zooplankton) factors were measured seasonally. Temporal and spatial distribution of surface temperature, salinity, nutrients (N, P, Si), chlorophyll‐a, and plankton were reported and the areas exposed to local eutrophication identified. Significant correlations between phytoplankton standing crop, chlorophyll‐a Zooplankton and various environmental parameters were demonstrated.Keywords
