Journal: Arctic Ecology and Economy
Year: 2025

The researchers have assessed the trophic status of Blagopoluchiya Bay (the Solovetsky Archipelago of the White Sea) based on the content of nutrients and chlorophyll “a”, species composition and quantitative indices of phytoplankton and zooplankton. High content of total phosphorus (up to 640 μg/L) and total nitrogen (up to 2.50 mg N/L) in water indicates a significant anthropogenic load on the bay and determines its trophic status as eutrophic-hypertrophic. The concentration of chlorophyll “a”
