Abstract

Temporal variations of phytoplankton pigments in relation to nutrients were
estimated at monthly intervals in Talapady lagoon, a shallow coastal lagoon
near Mangalore on the southwest coast of India (12° 47'N, 74° 51'E).
Chlorophyll a content varied from 1.14 to 16.2 mg nr3, chlorophyll b from 0.15
to 29.38 mg nr3, chlorophyll c from 0.52 to 54.17 mg nr3, carotenoid pigments
from 0.11 to 3.62 mg m3 and phaeopigmerits from 3.02 to 30.52 mg nr3. Spatial
variations were not significant. Diel variations were studied during monsoon,
postmonsoon and premonsoon, but statistically there were no significant
variations.
