To gain a better understanding of water quality and eutrophication,we investigated the seasonal and spatial distribution of water quality at 17 stations in the Guangzhou Sea Zone (GZSZ).Nutrients,chlorophyll-a (Chl-a),salinity,chemical oxygen demand,and other physical and chemical parameters were determined in February,May,August and October from 2005 to 2007.The concentrations showed ranges of 93.2-530.4 μmol/L for dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN),0.62-3.16 μmol/L for phosphate (PO4-P) and 50-127 μmol/L for silicate (SiO3-Si).The results indicated that DIN was strongly influenced by domestic sewage coming from Guangzhou City and NO3-N was the main form of DIN in most areas,while concentrations of phosphate and silicate were generally controlled by Pearl River runoff,land-based sources along the land or islands,and algae assimilation.N/P ratios were very high in both dry season and wet season,and varied from 57 to 667,suggesting that P was potentially the most limiting nutrient in the GZSZ.The concentrations of Chl-a were 3-96 μg/L,and were highly correlated with the distribution characteristics of COD.The concentrations of nutrients have increased over the past two decades (1982-2007).This means it is necessary to control the input of nutrients to the GZSZ,especially that of phosphate.
To gain a better understanding of water quality and eutrophication, we investigated the seasonal and spatial distribution of water quality at 17 stations in the Guangzhou Sea Zone (GZSZ). Nutrients, chlorophyll-a (chl-a), salinity, chemical oxygen demand, and other physical and chemical parameters were determined in February, May, August and October from 2005 to 2007. The mass showed ranges of 93.2-530.4 μmol / L for dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), 0.62-3.16 μmol / L for phosphate (PO4 -P) and 50-127 μmol / L for silicate (SiO3-Si).
