Effects of toxic cyanobacteria on a plankton assemblage: community development during decay of Nodularia spumigena

We studied the development of the plankton community in an artificially created toxic Nodularia spumigena bloom during a 2 wk enclosure study at the SW coast of Finland in the Baltic Sea. We measured bacterial abundance, dominant phytoplankton groups and ciliates, as well as concentrations of phytop...

Summary:We studied the development of the plankton community in an artificially created toxic Nodularia spumigena bloom during a 2 wk enclosure study at the SW coast of Finland in the Baltic Sea. We measured bacterial abundance, dominant phytoplankton groups and ciliates, as well as concentrations of phytoplankton pigments, fatty acids, nodularin, protein and nutrients. A high POC:chl a (
