Abstract

This research aimed to study relationship between water qualities and phytoplankton at coastal area Phetchaburi Province. Samples of seawater in Phetchaburi coastal area from Bang Ta-boon bay to Laem Phak Bia project, Ban Laem, Phetchaburi province during the distance of 85 km, 6 station in November 2016. The results showed that water quality was in the standard of coastal sea water for aquaculture. Phytoplankton was found in 29 species of 2 Division. Division Cyanophyta (blue-green algae) found 1 species is Oscillatoria sp. Class Bacillariophyceae (diatom) which in division chromophyta found 20 species and Class Dinophyceae (dinoflagellates) found 8 species. The dominant species were Ceratium furca, Odontella sinensis and Coscinodiscus sp. From the sampling stations all along the coast, it was found that the Klong E-Ed sample point, which the most abundant phytoplankton. Correlation analysis using person correlation between water quality and phytoplankton. It was found that phytoplankton was positive related to calcium silicate and ammonium at Bang Ta-boon area (r = 0.885, 0.892 p<0.05). Ban Laem area phytoplankton was negative related to temperature (r=-0.893, p<0.05). Bangkaew area phytoplankton was positive related to salinity (r = 0.996, p <0.05). Klong E-ED area phytoplankton was positive related to temperature ammonium and phosphate (r=0.875, 0.856, 0.819, p<0.05) and Wat Samut Tharam area phytoplankton was negative related to salinity (r=-0.976, p<0.01)                 Keywords :  water quality, phytoplankton, relationship, coastal Petchaburi Province
