Phytoplankton and Red Tides in the Samut sakhon Coastal Area
Abstract
Study on composition of phytoplankton and water quality in the Samut sakhon coastal area were carried out at 2 stations and the sampling were performed every 2 months for 6 times during November 2014 to September 2015. The total density was ranged from 19,388-10,545,571 cells/L. Phytoplankton in 96 genera were found and dominant group were Cyanobacteria (Oscillatoria spp.) and Diatom (Chaetoceros spp. Skeletonema costatum and Thalassiosira spp.). The red tide data were collected from emergency notification and field survey by Marine and coastal Resources Research and Development Center (Upper Gulf of Thailand). Red Tide phenomena occurred 12 times and showed high frequency in November 2014 and April 2015. Samut sakhon coastal red tides were caused by Noctiluca scintillans, Ceratium furca, Chaetoceros spp. and Mesodinium rubrum.Keywords: phytoplankton, Red Tide, Samut sakhon, Tha Chin EstuaryReferences
