The experimental activity was carried out according guidelines proposed by Ministry of Environment and Territory Protection and ICRAM (Central Institute for Scientific and Technological Research Applied to the Sea). The study was conducted in order to understand the role of anthropogenic pollution on phytoplankton community. Data were collected in 7 different areas, along a pollution gradient, located in Adriatic Sea, close to the Tortuga fish farm into the Gulf of Manfredonia, (Apulia, Italy).PhytoplanktonBiodiversityApuliaItalyManfredoniaSizeShape <http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/OGC/1.3/CRS84> Polygon((0 0, 0 0, 0 0, 0 0, 0 0)) Info and download page on LifeWatch Italy Data Portalhttps://data.lifewatchitaly.eu/handle/123456789/129781University of SalentoEcology Unit Phytobioimaging, University of SalentoEnglish
