There are different microbiological indexes to evaluate the trophic state of inland and coastal waters based on the direct relation between the concentration of organic matter and the heterotrophic bacteria. These indexes are valuable; however, as they were determined starting from data collected in tempered latitudes, if they are applied to tropical regions where heterotrophic bacteria concentrations are usually higher, the results can be underestimated. The objective of the present work is to elaborate a quantitative index to evaluate the trophic state from microbiological data collected in waters of the SW Cuban shelf. For this purpose, values of concentrations of heterotrophic (HB) and sulfate-reducing (SR) bacteria obtained in waters of SW Cuban shelf... |
