In pursuing earlier attempts to characterize the trophic state of inland waters, a new trophic index (TRIX) based on chlorophyll, oxygen saturation, mineral and total nitrogen and phosphorus, and applicable to coastal marine waters, is proposed. Numerically, the index is scaled from 0 to 10, coverin
