Phytoplankton Communities of the South Adriatic in the Greater Vicinity of Dubrovnik

Sažetak
In four ecologically different habitats (at 9 stations) in the southern Adriatic, four phytoplankton associations, which could be united in two alliances and one order, have been determined. The criterion for determining associations and other communities (alliances and order) was the fidelity of species towards the principles of the Zürich-Montpellier phytocoenologic school. The largest number of the characteristic species of the communities described belongs to the group of Dinophyta, even though they are less abundant than Bacillariophyceae. The characteristic species of Haptophyceae are important only in the open sea community. Acording to the assumption made in this work about some groups of phytoplankton species showing ecological distribution, the associations described can be used as ecological indicators. Because of the complex three-dimensional nature of the marine ecosystem (i. e, horizontal, vertical and time dynamics), the results should be checked in forthcoming investigations.
