. In the Kattegat the species diversity was rather high and dominated by diatoms. The total cell numbers were however low. The chlorophyll concentrations were normal for this month at all stations. The few species found at BY2 and BY4 in the southern Baltic Sea had low cell numbers. The integrated Last updated:

in the Baltic Sea. This was mainly due to higher abundances of the chain forming diatom S. marinoi. The remaining phytoplankton community mainly consisted of small cells such as centric diatoms (< 20 µm), cryptomonads, M. rubrum, ciliates as well as unicells.
