Abstract
Until recently there has been very little information on the quantities of phytoplankton nutrients in the Irish Sea. Slinn (1958–1966) has reported the weekly variations in the nutrient concentrations at a station off Port Erin, Isle of Man, and studies on the nutrient conditions in the Menai Straits have been carried out by Jones (unpublished) and Ewins & Spencer (1967). Liss (1969) has reported on the results of winter surveys of reactive silicate near the Irish coast, and from three stations near the Welsh coast (Anglesey, the Lleyn Peninsula and Fishguard). The present paper describes studies carried out in the inshore waters near Aberystwyth in Cardigan Bay during 1967 and 1968. This investigation formed part of a study of the seasonal occurrence of the phytoplankton and the growth conditions in this shallow, inshore region.Keywords
