Main Article Content
Abstract
This aim of this study was to create coastal water quality assessment criteria by the use of dominant phytoplankton genera as indicators. Water quality data and listed information about phytoplankton genera over the period 2004-2013 was collected from the Marine Resources and Environment Research Unit, Faculty of Marine Technology, Burapha University. The relationships between each genus of phytoplankton and various parameters of water quality including ammonia, nitrite, and orthophosphate concentrations were calculated by correlation analysis. The correlation values were then adjusted to be the scores of each genus of phytoplankton.
The accuracy of this method for determining water quality assessment criteria was then tested by sampling and testing water samples along the coast of Chanthaburi province, and the accuracy was found to be more than
80 percent. In conclusion, assessment of coastal water quality using dominant types of phytoplankton was appropriate for coastal water quality assessment.
