A yellow-brown coloration of water developed in the Eastern Harbour of Alexandria (Egypt) during April 1993. the dinoflagellate Prorocentrum triestinum, the causative organism, culminated in a population peak of 71-106 cells 1-1, chlorophyll a nearly 361 μgl-1. the bloom occurred with a thermohaline stratified water column and low surface nutrient levels. Water temperature was considered a crucial environmental factor controlling the occurrence of P. triestinum and nitrate was significantly correlated with its counts. the high relative growth constant (3.4 d-1), calculated just prior to the massive occurrence of the species, explains the rapid development of the bloom. A comparison with the earlier phytoplankton studies in the harbour is made. |
