The Eutrophication Status of Aquaculture Areas in the Black Sea (Sinop) Using TRIX, UNTRIX, and TQRTRIX Indices
Journal: Preprints.org
Year: 2025

Eutrophication, resulting from the environmental impacts of aquaculture activities and the presence of excess nutrients, is particularly significant for aquatic ecosystems. The present study aims to evaluate the eutrophication and trophic status of an aquaculture zone along the southern coast of the Black Sea by employing various indices and comparing the findings with established threshold levels for coastal waters. Water quality parameters-including chlorophyll-a, dissolved oxygen, dissolved i
