Phytoplankton species composition and cell abundances for each transect in the Northern Adriatic Sea.

Species composition and mean of phytoplankton cell abundances (103 cells L−1) per transect in March 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2006 in the Northern Adriatic Sea. Species are shown only if their mean per transect were once higher than 5×103 cells L−1. Values are the total of all counted cells for the group, including the species not presented here. In March 2002, species were identified at the class level, except for the diatom S. marinoi.
