Analysis of Nitrogen and Phosphorus Spatiotemporal Variations and Their Influencing Factors in Sansha Bay by CAO Nuotong, LI Qingsheng, JIANG Jinlong

“…The analysis of influencing factors of nitrogen and phosphorus showed that in spring and summer, land-based pollution was the main source of DIN, while DIP was influenced by land-based pollution, cage culture, and nutrient absorption by algae. In autumn, DIN and DIP were affected by a combination of land-based pollution and cage culture. …”
