Abstract
Dissolved inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus are among the pollutants that are used worldwide for coastal waters quality assessment due to their ecological and toxicological effects on the aquatic ecosystems. Waters quality along the Abobo-Doume Fish Market in Ebrie Lagoon was assessed using five (5) stations by measuring pH, temperature, salinity, Electric conductivity, transparency and Total dissolved solids (TDS) on one hand, and on the other hand, inorganic nutrients concentrations as ammonium (NH4+), nitrite (NO2-), nitrate (NO3-) and phosphates (PO43-) by colorimetric methods. To quantify the primary production limitation, the N:P ratios were calculated and then compared to the Redfield one (16:1). Temperature, pH, salinity, Electric conductivity, transparency and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) were found in respective ranges of 27.99-28.71°C 8.23-8.39 28.50-30.43‰ 44.30-46.7mS/Cm, 0.5-1.0m and 27.48-29.11 mg/L. NH4+, NO2-, ...
