  1. Salinity (%), ammonium [], nitrite + nitrate [ + ] and phosphate [] concentrations (μM) observed on the 20 sampling stations (S1 to S20). DL: detection limit. R: maximum range. Ammonium, nitrite, nitrate and phosphate measures ranged from 0.6 to 110 μM, 0.2 to 160 μM, 1.6 to 160 μM and 1.1 to 50 μM, respectively.
