Popis: The spatio-temporal distribution of nutrients and phytoplankton along the Iranian coast of the Southern Caspian Sea (CS) was investigated by comparing two different periods, namely Phase I (1996–1997), representing the period before the introduction of the ctenophore, Mnemiopsis leidyi, into the system, and Phase II (2005), the period after the introduction. The results showed that nutrient concentrations (with the exception of dissolved silicate) in the subsurface water were significantly higher during Phase II (p
