Studies on the primary production of the river Shatt Al-Arab at Basrah, Iraq

Abstract: The study was conducted on the Shatt Al-Arab River at Basrah, Iraq from September 1976 to August 1977 at three stations located at the upstream, middle and lowest parts of Basrah city. There was a bimodal seasonal variation of chlorophyll-a, the concentration of which ranged between0.52-3.25 mg/m3. Thegross primary production ranged between 6.03-37.02 mgc/m3/hr and showed a unimodal seasonal variation with a maximum in August. From the concentration of chlorophyll-a and from measurement of primary productivity… Show more
