Evaluation and classification of trophic status in coastal waters of Homozgan province using trophic index Scale (Trixcs) and unscale (Untrixcs)

Authors

Abstract:

One of the most important issues in environmental management of coastal waters is the evaluation of Eutrophication. In this study, the trophic status of coastal waters of Hormozgan province was evaluated using Scale (TRIXCS) and Unscale (UNTRIXCS) trophic indices in 2012. The results showed that TRIXCS values were in the range of 3.6 to 5.9 (in the area 1 Mezo-Eutroph, areas 2 and 3 Mezotroph, and area 4 Oligo – Mezotroph) and UNTRIXCS values ranged from 3.4 to 5.8 (no risk in the 4th area and high risk in other areas). Based on the results of TQR trix index, the status of eutrophication in areas 1, 2 and 3 was in good status, while area 4 was in very good status. The coefficient efficiency trophy index was 4.92±0.03, suggesting that the amount of nutrients consumed by phytoplankton near shore of Bandar Abbas (in area 1) was higher than other areas. Altogether, according to comments and suggestions by many scientists, trophic state Scale (Trixcs) index can be used for evaluation of eutrophication in coastal waters, after revisiting and development.

Eutrophication and trophic status using different indices: A study in the Iranian coastal waters of the Caspian Sea

The aim of this study was to assess the eutrophication and trophic status of the Caspian Sea based on different indices and also compare its status with the reference threshold values in the Iranian coastal waters of Caspian Sea (hereafter ICWCS). The water samples (three replicates) were collected along four transects (off the coast from Anzali, Tonekabon, Nowshahr and Amirabad) between spring...

The aim of this study is to assess the eutrophication and trophic status based on different indices and also reference threshold values in the Iranian coastal waters of the southern Caspian Sea (ICWSCS). The water samples (three replicates) were collected along four transects (off the coast from Anzali, Tonekabon, Nowshahr and Amirabad) between spring 2013 and winter 2014. The results show mark...

Research Article: Trophic status index and natural fisheries potential of some Iranian reservoirs

The Iran Water Resources Management Company constructs many dams to control surface water that provide a new potential for aquaculture activities. Trophic status index and natural potential for fish production were investigated in nine small dam reservoirs from northwest of Iran. Prediction of fish productivity was calculated based on phytoplankton biomass (using chlorophyll a concentration in ...
