A new agreement with the Swedish Coastguard caused a shorter cruise, consequently only the Swedish west coast and parts of the southern Baltic Proper (Arkona and Bornholm Basins) were visited. The species diversity was low and the cell density was high in the Skagerrak, small flagellates and …

a concentrations were lower than normal in most parts of the Skagerrak and the Kattegat. Chlorophyll a concentrations at the Arkona Deep were lower than normal and at the Bornholm Deep higher than normal. This report is a shortened version because of lack of events in the phytoplankton world. Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

-aquae was quite common in the sample. At BY5, the setting differed, the number of species was low and merely one diatom species was observed. 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 Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

The phytoplankton diversity was very low in the Skagerrak and the Kattegat and cryptomonads were the most numerous. The integrated (0-20m) chlorophyll a concentrations were within normal in the Skagerrak and slightly below normal in the Kattegat. In the Southern Baltic a declining diatom bloom was …

at the remaining stations. Integrated chlorophyll a is therefore missing at some stations. http //www.smhi.se/oceanografi/oce_info_data/reports/cruise/exp_0912eng.pdf Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

Overall the phytoplankton diversity was low at the Skagerrak sampling sites. The genus Ceratium that has been found in high amounts during autumn was observed with moderate cell numbers. The species diversity was a bit higher at the Kattegat sampling sites compared to the Skagerrak area, except on …

SMHI performed an oxygen and nutrient mapping survey within SLU Aqua’s cruise; International Bottom Trawl Survey (IBTS Q3), that covers the Skagerrak, the North Sea and the Kattegat. SMHI joins the cruise to perform CTD measurements in connection to each trawl and to take water samples for Last updated: Oct 09, 2023

The phytoplankton diversity was generally low in the Skagerrak and Kattegat areas. Small species like Cryptomonads and Chrysochromulina spp. dominated the samples. A few diatoms were found with moderate cell numbers at Släggö (Skagerrak coast) and in the Kattegat. The dinoflagellate Prorocentrum …

The phytoplankton flora was poor in the Skagerrak area and small flagellated species dominated the samples. The integrated (0-20m) chlorophyll concentrations were low but within normal for this month. Traces from the spring bloom were obvious in the Kattegat area and the species Pseudochattonella …

The major differences between the Skagerrak and Kattegat areas during the latest cruise were the high cell numbers of the diatoms Pseudosolenia calcar-avis and Pseudo-nitzschia spp. in the Kattegat phytoplankton samples. The species’ were present in the Skagerrak as well but in low cell numbers. …
