Abstract
Algal blooms in Swedish marine waters are not a new phenomenon. In the low saline waters (4–7 °/oo) of the Baltic Sea blooms of Nodularia spumigena (Cyanophyceae) were documented one hundred years ago (Apstein, 1902). Nodularia has often bloomed since then, but the intensity and size seems to have increased lately, probably in response to eutrophication (Horstmann, 1975). These blooms have been correlated with warm summers with, low precipitation (Edler et al., 1982).
