Water samples were collected monthly during 1999, from four sites, of different habitats. The study revealed the existence of a total of 120 phytoplankton species, composed of 76 Bacillarophyte, 37 Dinoflagellate, 3 Cyanophyte and 4 Chliorophyte species. Moreover, the study also revealed considerable physio - chemical variations in their water, as well as considerable variations in chlorophyll a. The physio - chemical variations of water, in the four stations most likely is responsible for the variations of the phytoplanktonic species found in them and their population densities.
