Summary: ALPE ADRIA, monitoring of hydrographic and biological features related with the impact of mucilaginous aggregates of the Northern Adriatic ecosystem - Monitoring of phytoplankton communities at 27 stations in relation to the impact of mucilaginous aggregates on the Northern Adriatic Ecosystem. At each station environmental parameters are measured down the water column and samples by bottle are collected at various depths for phytoplankton analyses. Utermohl method is used for the phytoplankton determination. The phytoplankton data were collected during 9 cruises from March to October 1990, 6 cruises from June to November 1991 and 9 cruises from March to November 1992.
