Popis: Long-term variations in phytoplankton biomass from nine coastal states along the Indian coast were studied and co-related with biotic and abiotic factors. Surface water temperature, dissolved inorganic nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorous), and plankton (phytoplankton and zooplankton) biomass data were collected between 1992 and 2015. Linear regression analysis showed a considerable increase in dissolved inorganic nutrients. A substantial increase in the frequency and intensity of phytoplankton blooms ( 3 mg/m
