Under the influences of both anthropogenic activities and natural forces, saltwater intrusion
has been a main issue in the Pearl River Estuary (PRE), China, in recent decades. Using …

In estuaries, freshwater discharge functions as a regulator of physicochemical and biological
properties. We assessed the seasonal variability of the phytoplankton community in …

In this study, surface water samples were collected at sites located in the lowest reaches of
closed (Geum)(ie with an estuary dam at the river mouth) and open (Seom**) estuary …

Our study focuses on methodological comparison of plankton community composition in
relation to ecological monitoring and assessment with data sampling. Recently, along with …

Chemotaxonomic analysis, a functionally efficient method, was performed every week over a
year in the semi-enclosed Jangmok Bay to determine the composition of major …

We assessed the influence of the distinct characteristics of the three seas surrounding the
Korean coast (the Yellow Sea, YS; the South Sea, SS; and the East Sea, ES) on the …

The main objectives of this study were to assess the diversity of diatom species and explain
how physico-chemical factors and trophic levels interact with diatom assemblages. An …

The effects of reduced forms of nitrogen (NH 4+ and dissolved organic nitrogen (DON)) on
the spatial distribution of diatoms and dinoflagellates in an estuarine-coastal water …

The distribution characteristics of lipophilic marine biotoxins (LMTs), such as yessotoxins
(YTXs) and pectenotoxins (PTXs) in phytoplankton, mussels, and commercial seafood were …

We studied phytoplankton community structure at 25 stations in the Busan coastal region
(South Korea), including the Nakdong River estuary, during four seasons in 2013. Together …
