Algal situation reports

All stations along the Swedish West coast had a domination of small cells. The coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi dominated in cell numbers at more or less all stations. Different species of the order cryptomonadales were also common. In the Kattegat the larger cells were dominated by the diatom …

The diatom Proboscia alata was found in high concentrations in the hose samples (0-10m) taken at all stations in the Skagerrak and the Kattegat area. Distinct chlorophyll fluorescence maxima were noted at 25-30 meters at most stations. Theses maxima were all dominated by different speciesfrom the …

The phytoplankton diversity was generally speaking low in the Skagerrak and Kattegat areas, although the number of species and the total cell numbers were higher in the Skagerrak in comparison. The coccolithophorid Emiliania huxleyi was abundant, especially at Släggö. The chlorophyll concentrations …

Most stations along the Swedish West coast had a domination of small cells. The coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi was common at all stations and even dominated in cell numbers at Å17. In Kattegat remnants of the spring bloom could be seen with higher cell numbers of the diatoms Skeletonema marinoi …

A post spring bloom situation was observed at most of the phytoplankton stations in the Skagerrak and Kattegat areas with low total cell counts and relatively high numbers of heterotrophic species like the dinoflagellate Peridiniella danica. At N14 though, a Pseudochattonella bloom was ongoing …

In the Skagerrak and the Kattegat the biodiversity in the phytoplankton community was low and the chlorophyll concentrations were normal. The spring bloom was in its final days with quite high amounts of Guinardia delicatula and a few chains of Skeletonema marinoi. Furthermore, flagellates, such as …

The biodiversity and total cell concentrations were both low in Skagerrak. The spring bloom forming species Skeletonema marinoi was found in highest cell numbers. In the Kattegat however, the species diversity and total cell numbers were high. Diatoms dominated and S. marinoi was found in highest …

At Å17, the most westerly Skagerrak station and at Släggö near the coast, the phytoplankton diversity and chlorophyll concentrations were low, which is normal for this month. In the Kattegat however, the species diversity was high and some diatoms were found in very high cell numbers. The …

The species diversity was rather high at most stations along the Swedish west coast. The total cell numbers were rather low. Diatoms dominated and the genus Pseudo-nitzschia* was found in then highest concentrations. The coccolithophorid Emiliania huxleyi was abundant at most stations.
The …

The species diversity was fairly high in the Kattegat and at Släggö at the Skagerrak coast. The total cell numbers were low and the most numerous species were the dinoflagellate Prorocentrum compressum and the diatom Pseudosolenia calcar-avis. The coccolithophorid Emiliania huxleyi was present in …
