The lagoon of Lesina is classified into different categories depending on which trophic state indices are applied. These indices all describe conditions governed by the temporal and spatial variability of the system, and highlight distinctive properties of the areas near the freshwater inputs (Roselli et al. 2009).
Lugoli et al. (2012) applied a new multimetric phytoplankton index, which integrates simple size spectra metrics, size class sensitivity to anthropogenic disturbance, phytoplankton biomass (Chl-a) and taxonomic richness thresholds. ISS-Phyto was originally developed for transitional waters but it can also be an adequate assessment tool of ecological status in coastal marine waters to describe within ecosystem disturbance gradients. The fact that it is mainly based on the phytoplankton size rather than taxonomic studies makes it an effective tool to assess the ecological status of transitional water.
