The phytoplankton diversity and total cell numbers were relatively low as can be expected for the season. The only exception was Å17 that had quite high biodiversity. Diatoms dominated at all stations except at Släggö where dinoflagellates were more abundant. Overall the diatom Pseudo Last updated: Dec 01, 2020

Tripos. This genus was especially common in the fluorescens peaks found at about 20m at a couple of stat-ions. Baltic Sea No large surface accumulations were noted in the south of the Baltic. The wind and waves kept the filaments disper-sed in the watercolumn. The small grains of aggregations that were Last updated: Jul 19, 2021

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 Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

Both the species diversity and total cell numbers were higher at Släggö (coastal station) than at Å17 (outer sea) at the time of sampling. Diatoms dominated at both stations and predominantly Guinardia flaccida was found. This species also dominated in the fluorescence peaks that were sampled. The Last updated: Jun 22, 2020

concentrations were within normal for this month all stations. Overall the phytoplankton community in the Baltic Sea consisted of small cells with a total domination of really small cells at some stations. Different ciliates were also common in most samples. A few filaments of different cyanobacteria were also Last updated: Sep 28, 2020

Despite the great secchi depth, quite high phytoplankton cell numbers and many species were found at the Skagerrak coast. In the open sea area, phytoplankton were more scarce. In the Kattegat the diatom Dactyliosolen fragilissimus and the cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. were abundant. In the Baltic Sea Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

the Baltic Sea, besides this there was nothing to report. The integrated (0-20 m) chlorophyll a concentrations were low, but within normal for this month in all sampling areas. This report is a shortened version because of lack of events in the phytoplankton world. Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

numbers at both stations in the Kattegat. The integrated (0-10 m and 0-20 m) chlorophyll concentrations were low but within normal for the month. The only exception was at Å17 in the Skagerrak open sea, where the concentration was slightly above what is normal.   The species diversity was generally high Last updated: Apr 30, 2020

Tripos (previously Ceratium) was most common at these stations. The integrated chlorophyll concentrations were low but within normal for the month at all stations along the west coast. The species diversity was generally high in the Baltic Sea, but the total cell numbers were low except for the stations Last updated: May 27, 2020
