CHEMTAX analysis of phytoplankton assemblages revealed potential indicators for blooms of haptophyte Phaeocystis globosa

Harmful algal blooms formed by the haptophyte Phaeocystis globosa have been recorded in the Beibu Gulf since 2011. In this study, the composition and variation of phytoplankton assemblages in the Beibu Gulf were studied during an intense bloom of P. globosa from 2016 to 2017, using the CHEMTAX appro...
