between 0.03 – 0.07 µmol/l, which is normal for the time of year. The concentration of silicate in the surface water was normal for the season in the northern area, while in the southern and coastal areas the levels were above normal. Measured levels in the lake were 0.1–0.7 µmol/l and at P2 and Släggö Last updated:

Skagerrak stations but normal for this month in the Kattegat. In the Baltic Sea, some remnants of the spring bloom were found as both Skeletonema marinoi and Peridiniella catenata were common at several stations. The dinoflagellate genus Dinophysis* was common and also the genus Dinobryon. The integrated Last updated:

ReportsOceanography
The diatom spring bloom was ongoing at Anholt E and Fladen in the Kattegat, but at all other Kattegat and Skagerrak stations the total cell numbers were moderate although the scene was set when it comes to species. The abundance and biodiversity were low in the Baltic Sea, although moderate amounts Last updated:

chlorophyll concentrations (0–10 m and 0–20 m) were within normal for this month at all stations. Diversity and cell abundance of phytoplankton were very low in the Baltic Sea, with mostly smaller cells such as Cryptomonadales and smaller Gymnodiniales. The centric diatom Actinocyclus octonarius was present Last updated:

Algae report number 1, 2024

ReportsOceanography
The species diversity was high in the Kattegat when considering the season but the total cell numbers were low. In the Skagerrak the diversity was a bit lower. Only Släggö could be sampled in Skagerrak during this cruise. The Plankton community along the Swedish west coast had a traditional winter Last updated:
