Bio-physical properties along a transect from coastal to offshore waters of the Southern Adriatic Sea (Gulf of Manfredonia) were monitored during a multidisciplinary cruise in March 2012 and are here reported. Absence of stratification and presence of two systems with different bio-physical characteristics were highlighted. Coastal waters resulted colder and less salty than off-shore waters. Primary biomass data evidenced an increase of the values from the surface coastal waters to the depth of 25 m. A decrease of phytoplankton biomass was also detected at the off-shore waters.

Abstract
Bio-physical properties along a transect from coastal to offshore waters of the Southern Adriatic Sea (Gulf of Manfredonia) were monitored during a multidisciplinary cruise in March 2012 and are here reported. Absence of stratification and presence of two systems with different bio-physical characteristics were highlighted. Coastal waters resulted colder and less salty than off-shore waters. Primary biomass data evidenced an increase of the values from the surface coastal waters to the depth of 25 m. A decrease of phytoplankton biomass was also detected at the off-shore waters.File in questo prodotto:
