Abstract

In 2007 and 2008 we estimated the quality of water in Amur Bay (the Sea of Japan) using the unicellular algae Phaeodactylum tricornutum Bohlin. The study showed that cell numbers and concentrations of chlorophyll a and carotenoids in the microalgae cultured in test water samples differed from those in water sampled from the control site throughout the study periods. Our results are consistent with existing data on adverse ecological conditions in the Amur Bay and their harmful effect on aquatic organisms.
