(Some chemical, physical, and plankton characteristics of the surface waters at Naples, Florida, were investigated.  Concentrations of inorganic phosphate, total phosphate, nitrate-nitrite nitrogen, carbohydrate, and protein were determined over a period of 17 months.  Water temperatures, salinities, occurrence, and composition of phytoplankton and zooplankton were also recorded.)

(The purpose of this paper is to describe, in general, the plankton forms characteristic of the coastal waters of southwest Florida, more specifically the dinoflagellates and the copepods.  The work was conducted over a period of about ten months (January to October 1949).  No attempt has been made to work out cycles of abundance or sequences of plankton associations from data collected in so limited a time.  One chief objective is to show what might be termed the normal or typical plankton picture prevailing during this period.)

(A continuous, multidisciplinary field and laboratory study was carried out in seven river-estuarine and coastal systems in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico from 1970 to 2000.  Among the central research issues investigated were the analysis of eutrophication processes, the effects of anthropogenous nutrient loading on the initiation and succession of plankton blooms, and food web responses to seasonal and interannual changes of phytoplankton community structure that were associated with the blooms.  One of the primary target areas for the comprehensive nutrient loading analyses was the Perdido Bay system in northwestern Florida.)
