Estuarine trophic transfer depends on many biological, chemical, and hydrodynamic factors, among which are size, biodiversity and ecology of the resident populations. In the Indian River Lagoon (IRL), Florida, USA, a biogeographically transitional area between temperate and tropical zones, we hypothesized that measuring the size fractions of planktonic chlorophyll as a proxy for microalgal biomass was insufficient to determine the trophic transfer potential and ecological preference of microalgal biodiversity.
