Title: An index associated with nutrient eutrophication in the marine environment
Abstract: The annual loadings and distributional patterns of phosphorus and nitrogen were observed at several stations in the Saronicos Gulf, Aegean Sea during 1980. All nutrient concentrations peaked sharply in the northern part of the Gulf where a sewage outfall exists. A 'nutrient index' designed to take into account the nutrient's loading of the area, to be specific for each nutrient and sensitive to stressful concentration changes, is described. The score values of this index provide a continuous assessment of water quality.
