Abstract
The paper presented contains results of phytoplankton monitoring carried out in the Southern Baltic (Bornholm Basin, Gdańsk and Gotland Deeps) in 1911-1988. No repeated trend in the phytoplankton dynamics over the period of study was observed. A significant increase in abundance of flagellates was characteristic of 1983-1988.
Highlights
Regular monitoring of different groups of organisms including phytoplankton is very important for a proper assessment of the present state of marine environment
Spatialdistribution of phytopl a nkton Average values calculated for the entire period of study were considered in order to analyse the spatial distribution of the phytoplankton (Figs. 2 and 3)
Analysis of phytoplankton abundances, based on average values calculated for all the stations and seasons, did not show any clear"cut trend in the phytoplankton dynamics which would be common for all the years during the 10-year period of monitoring
Summary
Regular monitoring of different groups of organisms including phytoplankton is very important for a proper assessment of the present state of marine environment. Monitoring of phytoplankton abundance was carried out at three stations located in the Gdansk Deep (BMP L-1), southern part of the Gotland Deep (BMP K-1), and in the Bomholm Basin (BMP K-2) i:n 1978-1988 (Fig. 1). Studies on phytoplankton biomass were initiated in 1984. Spatialdistribution of phytopl a nkton Average values calculated for the entire period of study were considered in order to analyse the spatial distribution of the phytoplankton
