Phytoplankton data collected in an impacted marine coastal area located in South Adriatic Sea from 2014 to 2017.

This dataset provides broad information on taxonomic and morphological (shape, linear dimensions, biovolume, cell abundance, cell size) structure of phytoplankton communities, in an impacted marine coastal area. The study was conducted in order to understand the role of anthropogenic pollution on phytoplankton community. For this reason, 3 different areas, along a pollution gradient, were considering. Data were collected at different spatial and temporal scales, in marine ecosystems, located in South Adriatic Sea, close to an industrial area and a marine protected area, in Brindisi, along Salento Peninsula (Puglia region, Italy).

Method Step

Description: Water phytoplankton samples were preserved with Lugol (15 ml/l of sample). These samples were observed with a Nikon Eclipse Ti-S inverted-microscope following Utermol‚ (1985) method, at 400-600x magnification. 400 organisms were counted for taxonomic identification and cell size / abundance computations. Phytoplankton counts and morphometric measurements were performed semi-automatically using a video-interactive image analysis system (L.U.C.I.A Version 4.8, Laboratory Imaging) connected to the microscope. Taxonomic identification was carried out using several references. The calculation of organism biovolume was based on geometric approximations assigning a geometric shape for determination of volume following Vadrucci et al. (2007) and Atlas of geometric shape ( https://www.phytovre.lifewatchitaly.eu/vre/shapes-groups/). Biovolume was converted in biomass using Menden-Deur e Lessard (2000) equations.

Sampling

Sampling Description: Samples were collected during March, May, October 2014 , April 2016 and March, May, July 2017. 1l of water phytoplankton samples were collected using a Niskin bottle Cerano (industrial area), Brindisi, and a Reference site are the 3-sampling marine coastal ecosystems. In each ecosystem, samples were collected along 2 transect, in 3 station located at 200, 1000 and 3000 meters from the coastal zone, respectively mentioned as N(near), M (medium) and F(far). For each station, samples at surface (T=top) and bottom (D=down) depth were collected.
