Algal situation reports

Reports from SMHIs offshore sampling programme, which describe the algal situation in marine waters surrounding Sweden.

Algae report number 7 part 2, 2013

AlgAware number 7 is split in two parts because the July cruise is divided into two. This report, part 2, presents phytoplankton analysis from the Skagerrak, the Kattegat and the southwestern part of the Baltic Proper. Phytoplankton analyses have partly been made on board, partly on land, at the SMHI...

Algae report number 7.1, 2013

AlgAware number 7 is split in two parts because the July cruise is divided into two. This report, part 1, presents phytoplankton analysis from the Baltic Sea. The second cruise is planned to start 30th of July and will cover the Skagerrak, Kattegat and the southern Baltic. Phytoplankton analysis have...

Algae report number 6 part 1, 2013

The AlgAware report No 6 will be divided in PART 1 and PART 2 because the expedition in June is divided in two cruises. This report present phytoplankton analyses from the Baltic Sea. The Aphanizomenon flos-aquae dominated southeast part of the Baltic and three species from the genus Dinophyceae...

Algae report number 5, 2013

Low cell numbers were found at all stations from the Skagerrak-Kattegat area. The species diversity was low especially in the samples from the Kattegat area. Small flagellates of different sorts were the most common. The samples were very similar, the phytoplankton diversity was very low. The cell counts...

Algae report number 4, 2013

Several spring bloom diatom species were present in the phytoplankton samples from the Skagerrak-Kattegat area, reminding us of the past bloom. The diatom Rhizosolenia hebetata was common at most stations and Skeletonema marinoi was common at one of the Anholt E visits. Cell counts were mostly low. The...

Algae report number 3, 2013

Remnants of the spring bloom were found in the surface water at both stations in the Skagerrak. The chlorophyll fluorescence maxima indicated that the bloom was sinking down considering they were found at approximately 15 meters. Diatoms dominated in the surface water and Skeletonema marinoi and Detonula...

Algae report number 2, 2013

The cell concentrations were low at all stations in the Baltic Sea and at the Swedish west coast except at Å17 in the Skagerrak. The species diversity was relatively high at the Swedish west coast and low in the Baltic Sea. The integrated (0-20 m) chlorophyll a concentrations were within normal at Å17...

Algae report number 1, 2013

The cell concentrations were low in all sampling stations at the Swedish West coast and in the Baltic Sea. The species diversity was higher in the Kattegat and Skagerrak areas than in the Baltic Sea. The species diversity was highest among the dinoflagellates although it seems like the diatom spring...

Algae report number 11, 2012

This report is based on two cruises in December, covering the Baltic Sea and the Swedish West coast sampling stations. Typical winter situations were registered in the Kattegat and Skagerrak areas. The number of species was low, and the dinoflagelllate genus Ceratium and small flagellates were the...
