AbstractThe goal of this paper was to explain variability of phytoplankton in a shallow coastal area in relation to physico-chemical parameters. Temporal variability and composition of phytoplankton were investigated in the Kotor Bay, a small bay located in the south-eastern part of the Adriatic Sea. Samplings were performed weekly from February 2008 to January 2009 at one station in the inner part of the Kotor Bay, at five depths (0 m, 2 m, 5 m, 10 m, 15 m). Phosphates, nitrites and nitrates ranged from values under the level of detection to the maximum values of 1.54, 1.53 and 23.91 µmol l−1, respectively. The phytoplankton biomass — represented by chlorophyll a concentration — ranged from 0.12 to 6.78 mg m−3, reaching a maximum in summer. Diatoms were present throughout the whole sampling period, reaching the highest abundance in March (3.42×105 cells l−1at surface). The peak of dinoflagellates in July (2.2×106 cells l−1 at surface) was due to a single species, Prorocentrum micans. The toxic dinoflagellate Dinophysis fortii occurred at a concentration of 2140 cells l−1 in May. The present results of phytoplankton assemblages and distribution provide valuable information for this part of the south-eastern Adriatic Sea where data is currently absent.

The experimental study was carried out on an urban wastewater purification station located in the region of El Oued -Kounine- in south-eastern Algeria. During 6 months, samples were taken every month to study the Physico-chemical parameters of this station. Monthly monitoring of SS, COD, BOD5 was made from September 2017 to February 2018 and the results obtained show that the average elimination rates were 77.76, 74.10 and 80% respectively for BOD5, DCO and SS. The average of the ratio COD/BOD5 during the 6 months of follow-up is equal to 2.9.
