Abstract
Abstract This paper is concerned with the enrichment of inorganic nutrients in the Patraikos Gulf.The Gulf of Patras is a silled embayment opening into the Ionian Sea on the west, and through the straits of Rio onto the Gulf of Corinth, on the east. The latter communicates through the Corinth canal with the Aegean Sea. Results of the Patraikos Gulf has only slighter greater concentrations of nutrients than background, in particular nitrate and silicate. Also a comparison is made with the nutrient concentrations in polluted coastal gulfs of the Aegean. The different nutrient levels are due to the different sources of nutrients as well as the morphology and the circulation of the waters.
