Abstract

In 1965 phytoplankton at 11 stations in Northeastern Lake Ontario showed a spring-early summer maximum during which total phytoplankton volume ranged from 3.1 × 10 6μ 3/ml to 60.8 × 10 6μ 3/ml. Diatoms were the predominant group during this period. On an annual basis, diatoms accounted for 53%, flagellates 28%, Chlorophyta 13% and Cyanophyta 13% of the total phytoplankton volume. In most instances algae were identified to species level. Seasonal data are presented for species composition, as a percentage of the total phytoplankton volume. Average cell volumes of 80 species of algae encountered in this study are also included.
