“…Other works include: Adesalu (2005) reported the diatoms of Olero creek; Oyema (2008) observed a total of 129 species of phytoplankton in Iyagbe lagoon, Lagos while Adesalu and Nwankwo (2009) reported the diatoms of Lekki lagoon, Lagos. Adesalu and Nwankwo (2010) reported 179 species of cyanobacteria in which the blue green algae Oscillatoria formed the most abundant genus.…”

“…These two nutrients are needed for cell membranes and for proteins such as enzymes. Adesalu and Nwankwo (2010) indentified phytoplankton as one of the useful indicators of aquatic environmental quality because they act as early warning signals thereby provoking appropriate remediation. Nwankwo (1993) reported that high ammonium compound and low react-nitrogen promoted the increase of Anabaena and Nostoc.…”

“…Furthermore, Adesalu and Nwankwo (2009) Nyananyo et al, (2006) assessed the physico-chemical conditions and distribution of phytoplankton in the Brass River, Nigeria and concluded that effluent from oil industries could have contributed to the relatively turbid and acidic levels of the water. on the phytoplankton community of Elechi creek, Niger Delta in Nigeria reported that the high level of phosphate above permissive limit showed that the creek is hypereuthrophic and organic polluted.…”

Physico-chemical parameters have been observed to influence phytoplankton composition of coastal areas and water in Nigeria. In order to assess this, the phytoplankton composition of a tidal creek in Lagos was investigated in relation to the physico-chemical characteristics for twelve months (February 2010-January 2011. Six stations were created, phytoplankton samples were collected using 55µm mesh size plankton net and water samples were also collected for physico-chemical parameters analysis. Four major divisions, Bacillariophyta (78%), Chlorophyta (11%), Cyanophyta (10%) and Euglenophyta (0.07%) were documented. The phytoplankton abundance was influenced by parameters such as rainfall, phosphate-phosphorus, nitrate-nitrogen and salinity. and October 2010 (station C) respectively. Human induced stressors such as dredging, sand mining and poor sewage system might have affected the phytoplankton composition of the studied area.

The assessment of the phytoplankton community structure in the Bitter Lakes during 2012-2013 indicated about 150 species belonging to 73 genera. These are classified as 89 species of diatoms, 27 dinoflagellates, 19 chlorophytes, 13 cyanophytes, and one of euglenophytes as well as one rare species of silicoflagellates. Diatoms were the leading and most dominant group forming about 81.67 % of the total number of individuals due to the high flourishing of Rhizosolenia alata variety gracillima, Thalassionema nitzschioides, Skeletonema costatum, Thalassiothrix frauenfeldii, and Chaetoceros lorenzianus. AbuRommanh was the most productive area in the phytoplankton counts, whereas the area of Shandoura was the lowest productive one, coincided principally with the types and amounts of pollutants as well as the highest human and fishing activities at this area of the Bitter Lakes.
