Abstract EN
We investigated the impact of industrial effluents on phytoplankton assemblage in southern Tunisia (Skhira).
We specifically addressed changes in microalgae composition caused by this anthropogenic interference.
A hierarchical sampling design was used to compare planktonic microalgae structure between one disturbed station and one control station.
Samples were collected by scuba diving at 5 m depth in August 2012.
A total of 76 microalgae taxa were identified.
Dinoflagellates abundance was low in the disturbed station, especially Gonyaulacales and Prorocentrales due to P-limitation, whereas diatoms and cyanobacteria abundance were low in control station which is characterized by Si-limitation.
