Journal: Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Year: 2023

The studies of seasonal phytoplankton dynamics, its growth rate, and microzooplankton grazing were conducted on two stations in the western Black Sea coastal waters near Sevastopol from January 2021 to December 2022. The phytoplankton species composition has remained relatively the same during recent years compared to the end of the last century and the beginning of the 2000s. However, significant changes have occurred in the ratio between different species of diatoms, and the proportion of dino
