摘要
The Eastern Harbour of Alexandria is a shallow semi-enclosed bay receiving sewage wastes. It suffers from eutrophication due to enrichment in nutrients. Benthic flux is usually one of the sources of nutrients in similar shallow bays. The present work aims to assess the role of the benthic fluxes of the nutrients (N and P ions) on eutrophication of the harbour. The data reveal that, despite the eutrophication, the harbour is N-limiting and far beyond the ''optimum growth production''. Also it is declining towards the pollution side and increasing of plant growth inhibitors.
