We assessed the effects of elutriates from sediments collected at three stations in the polluted Bay of Bagnoli-Coroglio along the Campania coast (Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy) using three planktonic diatoms regularly occurring in the area,Pseudo-nitzschia multistriata,P. arenysensisandChaetocerossocialis. Specifically, we tested the production of sexual stages in the heterothallicPseudo-nitzschiaspecies with the hypothesis that pollutants could impair sexual reproduction. We also tested the seeding capacity of spores ofC. socialisafter up to six months of storage in elutriates, assuming that pollutants could affect the capability of resting stages to germinate. Elutriate from station 56, with the highest concentrations of pollutants, impaired growth, sexual reproduction and spore germination. Elutriates from stations 25 and 84 caused moderate enhancement of growth and sexual reproduction inPseudo-nitzschiaas compared with control conditions, and also had intermediate effect on spore seeding capacity.
