AB  - Eutrophication and algal blooms occur frequently in coastal waters of the Makran, 
      for which phosphorus is an important driving factor. Therefore, in this study, 
      sequential extraction procedure was used to evaluate abundance of five phosphorus 
      chemical species. Total phosphorus (TP) concentration ranged from 672.3 to 
      2031.9 mug/g in pre-monsoon and 771.7 to 2095.7 mug/g in post-monsoon. More than 
      87% of TP was inorganic P and contribution of organic phosphorus was low. 
      Potential bioavailable P (PBAP) comprised of 52.1 and 35.5% of TP in the pre and 
      post-monsoon, respectively. Average phosphorus pollution index was higher than 
      one in all stations and seasons, implying that sediments in the study area are 
      polluted by phosphorus and are under eutrophication risk. Thus, in the future, 
      foregoing information will be important for assessment of phosphorus loading and 
      pollution in the Makran.
