Comparison on the cell abundance of benthic dinoflagellates in macrophytes and water column collected from open coastal waters and semi-enclosed lagoon

Benthic dinoflagellates are known to occur in the water column. The reason they can be found in different parts of the ecosystem is not clear. This study aims to determine the species and the cell abundance of benthic dinoflagellates in the water column and macrophytes collected from two different l...
