Journal: Izvestiya TINRO

Species composition and abundance of phytoplankton, chlorophyll a concentration and chemical parameters were monitored at the coast of Russky Island in the Paris Bay, the shallow secondary inlet of Peter the Great Bay in 2014–2015. In total, 103 species and intraspecific taxa of microalgae from 4 classes are identified. Dynamics of phytoplankton abundance did not coincide with the dynamics of chlorophyll a concentration. The abundance varied from 1.3 . 10 3 cells/L to 1.9 . 10 6 cells/L and chlo
