摘要：

Submarine groundwater discharge is a pivotal factor in modifying the structure of phytoplankton communities in coastal waters. The objective of the study was to investigate how variations in nutrient concentrations and ratios influence the composition of phytoplankton communities along the coastal waters of Bay of Bengal. The experiment involved mixing groundwater with coastal water at 5% and 10% proportions. Phytoplankton growth was more pronounced in 10 % groundwater than those with 5 % and control samples. In control samples, Chl-a and other pigments, experienced decrease from 20 % to 80 %, except in Odisha-Paradeep and VisakhapatnamAndhra Pradesh, where peridinin concentrations increased by 60% to 65% owing to low Si:N ratios below 0.2. A shift was observed from diatoms to dinoflagellates due to low Si: N ratios. The results reaffirm the hypothesis that variations in nutrient concentrations and ratios play a substantial role in shaping the composition of phytoplankton in the adjacent coastal waters.
