together with species from the genus Pyramimonas. The integrated (0-20 meters) chlorophyll a concentrations from the Baltic Sea were below normal for the season at most sampling sites. Cryptomonads, Pyramimonas spp. dominated at all stations in the Baltic. The abundance of the genus Chrysochromulina was Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

exception at Anholt Ewhere Dactyliosolen fragilissimus and Guinardia flaccida were very common. There were no surface accumulations in the Baltic Sea. Filamentous cyanobacteria dominated the phytoplankton community from the entrance of Gulf of Finland at LL12 through the eastern to the south of Gotland at Last updated: Jun 21, 2016

The diatom spring bloom had started at the southern Kattegat station, Anholt E. Due to the storm Egon, the January cruise could not visit the Skagerrak area this month, as well as several stations in the Baltic. The species diversities and cell densities were very low in the Baltic Sea. The Last updated: Feb 03, 2015

-20 meters) chlorophyll a concentrations from the Baltic Sea were within normal for the season at all stations. Cryptomonads together with the genus Pyramimonas were dominating the samples at all stations. Both colony forming and filamentous cyanobacteria had diminished since the last expedition, but the Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

The phytoplankton diversity was generally low in the Kattegat and Skagerrak areas. Rather small chlorophyll fluorescence peaks were caused by a few diatom species and the dinoflagellate genus Ceratium. The summer bloom of cyanobacteria was ongoing in the Baltic Sea.

and especially the heterotrophic dinoflagellate Peridiniella danica was common. Only a few cells of the ichtyotoxic (ichtyo = fish) genus Pseudochattonella were recorded on this cruise. A spring bloom situation was evident in the southern and western part of the Baltic Sea. A dominance of spring bloom Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

higher chl a content was however recorded at Släggö and Anholt E but still within normally low for the season. All stations in the Baltic Sea contained few species with only few cells of each species recorded. The chl a levels were mostly below 1 μg/l which is within normal for the season.

Relatively few cells were found at all stations which is normal for the season. A quite diverse community but with few cells of each species was however found in the Skagerrak area. The diatom genus Pseudo-nitzschia was found in high abundance at the outer station in Skagerrak (Å17) and at both Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

The potentially harmful dinoflagellate Akashiwo sanguinea was present in the Skagerrak and Kattegat samples. 3The Baltic Sea BY2, BY5, BY15, 4CTRY-BP, BY31 and BY38 10th - 13th of November Small species in low numbers were found in the phytoplankton samples.
