| Sediment oxygen demand (SOD), silicate and ammonia fluxes, benthic macro- and meiofauna and phytopigments were measured during two cruises in March 1992 and August 1993 in the northwestern Adriatic Sea. Nine, mostly shallow (< 50 m) stations, on a transect stretching from the Po mouth southwards, were visited. Two major issues were addressed: (1) To what extent does the river Po affect the benthic communities along this transect ? and (2) Is there any indication of an eutrophic situation as described in earlier studies ? The spatial patterns of SOD (range +/- 100 to 1450 mu mol O-2 . m(-2). h(-1)) and benthic fauna do not provide evidence for a simple latitudinal decrease in organic enrichment from the Po to the south. However, northern stations... |
