| An investigation into the distribution of Dinophysis spp. in coastal waters off the south coast of Ireland was carried out in July 2007. Dinophysis acuta was present as a sub surface layer containing up to 55,000 cells L-1. The population had a high percentage of viable cells (mean: 89%; median: 94%; n = 24) with a high specific division rate (~0.55 d-1). The layer, of approximately 5 m thickness, did not coincide with the fluorescence maximum and was present as a patch of horizontal dimension less than 10 km x 7 km. Both conventional and towed undulating CTD used in conjunction with high vertical resolution sampling methods showed the patch of Dinophysis to move with a similar speed and direction as the coastal flow, which ran parallel to the coast in the... |

| High-resolution physical and biological measurements were carried out in May-June 2007 during the ‘HABIT-Pontevedra 2007' survey in Ría de Pontevedra (Galician Rías Baixas, NW Spain) to study small-scale physical-biological interactions in the distribution of microphytoplankton, with special emphasis on harmful species. Longitudinal transects from the Ría to the adjacent shelf were sampled to describe the spring-neap tidal and circadian variability. An in situ particle profiler, a moored ADCP, and a towed undulating CTD (Scanfish) were used during the survey, which took place after an upwelling pulse at neap tides during a downwelling–upwelling cycle and coincided with the annual maximum of Pseudo-nitzschia spp. Cell maxima of P. seriata (2×106 cells L−1)... |

| Investigations into the phytoplankton of the Bay of Biscay in July 2006 revealed an extensive bloom of an unidentified haptophyte species. High-resolution sampling techniques identified the region in the vicinity of the mouth of the Loire estuary as an area of high (106–107 cells l−1) cell densities of the haptophyte in a thin sub-surface layer. This organism dominated the phytoplankton population regionally. Measurements of the vertical distribution of horizontal shear showed that the population, located at ca. 20 m depth, was confined to a layer lying between two density discontinuities with high shear. Physical measurements indicated that the population was being advected southeastwards, along the coast. Seaward spreading of the population was also... |
