Abundance and seasonal trophodynamics. (specific growth rate, daily production, and grazing mortality) of the major picophytoplankton components, Synechococcus cyanobacteria (Syn) and picoeukary- otes (Pico-E), were studied at three stations in Sevastopol Bay and adjacent coastal waters (the Black Sea) in 2014 by flow cytometry and the dilution method. Pico- E abundance was shown to increase along the nutrient and pollution gradient from the coastal waters outside the bay (annual average of 7.3
