Abstract

The southern coast of Sri Lanka is an important transitional passage between the Arabian sea and the Bay of Bengal. Therefore, it is important to asses the productivity of this region through the phytoplankton abundance and chlorophyll-a concentration in relation to the nutrient dynamics. The present study describes the temporal and spatial variations of phytoplankton density, nutrients and chlorophyll-concentrations in southern coast of Sri Lanka during the southwest monsoon. The phytopla...
