Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine the role of regulated rivers on
bottom ice algal communities and phytoplankton by investigating
the following objectives along a salinity gradient:
1. Examine the influence of the river plume on ice algal and
phytoplankton production from the estuary to the marine
system
2. Examine the variability in ice algal biomass and nutrient
availability
3. Investigate the influence of the river output on taxonomic
composition
