The sediments of Chelem Lagoon, on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, north of the Yucatán Peninsula, were studied measuring the nutrient concentrations in the interstitial water. The average values were: ammonium 459 ± 281 µM, peaking up to 1,045 µM; nitrite 1.8 ± 1.8 PM, with a maximum of 5.3 µM; n...
