Abstract

Mommaerts, J.-P. (1970). On the unusual patterns of phosphate vertical distribution in the Tamar estuary. J. Mar. Biol. Ass. U.K. 50: 849-855

Chemical investigations in the Tamar estuary (Plymouth, Great Britain) have revealed marked variations of phosphate content in the water column. This pattern was usually not matched by that of salinity. The origin of the phenomenon and its possible use for the computation of the flushing time of the estuary are discussed.
