0 Introduction

Nitrogen is one of the main elements causing eutrophication. So this paper carried out a detailed research about the distribution characteristics of nitrogen, which can provide an important basis for dynamics of estuarine nutrient and estuarine eutrophication status.

1 Materials and Method

In this research 12 sampling points (Figure 1) were selected. Water temperature and salinity measured by the YSI-5000 on the spot. Water samples were brought back to the laboratory to be tested in accordance with the specifications set forth in the marine survey.

2 Results and discussion

3 Conclusion

In summer of 2013, the content of nitrogen, phosphorus nutritive salt is relatively rich, the concentration ofand NO2--N is 164.30ug/L and 6.14ug/L respectively. The highest concentration of NO3--N is 2.1mg/L. the concentration ofanddecreases with the increase in salinity, which is mainly affected by physical mixing process of dilution. NO3--N is low in freshwater side and high in sea side, mainly affected by phytoplankton.
