Sontecomapan is a coastal lagoon located at the south of Veracruz, Mexico, which is bordered by a mangrove forest where Rhizophora mangle is the dominant species. In the lagoon, the concentrations of folin phenol active substances (FPAS) are indicative of the high input of plant organic matter.

Chaetoceros muelleri var subsalsum, Cyclotella cryptica, and C. meneghiniana are sensitive to high concentrations of FPAS while Skeletonema subsalsum was able to tolerate moderate concentrations of FPAS.
