Project

Geocoverage: 28 stations (8 transects) in the Gulf of Trieste (Northern Adriatic Sea)
Geographic Box (south,north,west,east): 45, 12, 14, 46
Sea Area: Mediterranean Sea; Adriatic Sea

Parameters: Salinity of the water column; Temperature of the water column; Alkalinity, acidity and pH of the water column; Chlorophyll pigment concentrations in the water column; Dissolved oxygen parameters in the water column
Instruments: fluorometers; CTD; spectrophotometers; salinometers; titrators; pH sensors

Summary: CMM, coastal waters monitoring for ecosystem and eutrophication control and mussel quality evaluation - 28 sampling stations located at 200m, 500m, 1000m and 3000m from the coast along 8 transects were carried out weekly during spring and summer and carried out monthly during other seasons. Abiotic parameters were measured down the water column at every station. At a station some parameters: salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen and chlorophyll-a were determined monthly by means of chemical analyses.
