Observational study reveals diverse plankton and epiphytic microalgae communities in estuarine waters, indicating high fertility and potential for aquaculture domestication.

Key Points

To evaluate the abundance, diversity, uniformity, and dominance indices of zooplankton, phytoplankton, epiphytic microalgae, and chlorophyll a in relation to estuarine water fertility.
Conducted stratified random sampling across May, June, and July 2023 with 18–20-hour biota collection periods in an estuarine environment.
Assessed water quality, measured chlorophyll a concentrations, and taxonomically identified macroalgae, epiphytic phytoplankton, and zooplankton genera.
Identified two macroalgae species (Caulerpa racemosa, Caulerpa lentillifera), six epiphytic phytoplankton genera (Nitzschia, Asterionella, Ceratium, Rhizoclonium, Pleurosigma, Oedogonium), and four zooplankton genera (Nauplius larva, Penaeus larva, Canalus, Acartia).
Chlorophyll a levels categorized the estuary as mesotrophic, reflecting nutrient-rich conditions supported by mainland nutrient inputs that sustain aquatic fertility.
