Sažetak
Kaštela Bay is semi-enclosed coastal bay in the Middle Adriatic which behaves as a dillution basin, as the result of freshwater inflow. The area near river mouth is heavily polluted by a number of sewage outfalls. Red tide (RT) events have been observed there regularly every summer in the last decade. During summer 1988, the concentrations of the RT organisms and bacterioplankton, and some chemical and hydrographic parameters, were monitored. The results of the study suggest that quiescent periods are characterized by the highest concentrations of RT organisms.On the other hand, vertical mixing induced by strong wind events is associated with a decrease of concentration of RT organisms. variations in the oxygen concentration in the surface layer are associated with the phytoplankton density.
