L'organisation hydrobiologique d'un bassin paralique de type bahira : la baie de Kalloni (Lesbos, Grèce)

TL;DRAbstract

The deep, elongated paralic basin of Kalloni bay has been studied through comparisons between several computed hydrodynamical situations and data collected in similar situations from its water body. These include salinities and phytoplanktonic biomasses. Additionally, sedimentological data, which integrate the environmental variations on the long term, have been collected in order to help in understanding the average biogeological functioning of the system. Depending upon its direction and speed, wind forcing induces different salinity and phytoplanktonic patterns. These generally display rather weak gradients from the entrance and the axial deepest channel towards the farthest northeastern reaches of the basin. Moreover, the ranges of salinities and phytoplanktonic biomasses display a very low degree of restriction from the sea (confinement), while the global phytoplanktonic composition, analysed by flow cytometry, shows the prominent marine influence over the basin. The average hydro
