A differential-difference model is proposed for plankton dynamics in the bay of Villefranche-sur-mer. Field data is analyzed and the classical predator-prey model for zooplankton and phytoplankton is modified accordingly. A time lag is introduced to account for predator maturing and inhomogeneous terms are introduced to simulate the meteorological conditions in the bay. Laboratory data is used to estimate the growth and grazing parameters of the model and the evaluated model is used in a computer simulation. Comparison of simulated results with the field data is discussed.
