Brownish red water extends well north of Lummi Island toward the Canadian border and eastward toward Bellingham Bay, Samish Bay and Padilla Bay. Farm personel collected water samples at known hotspots near Jack Island and along the eastern side of Guemes Island. Cell counts on the east side of Guemes Island ranged from 3 million to 5 million cells/liter. Cell counts at the fish pens on the southeastern side of Cypress climbed from 220K/L at the surface in the early morning up to 400K by mid afternoon. Currently Heterosigma in the water column appears to be stratified with counts at 10 m depth being much lower (120K to 180K/L range). <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>The Port Angeles area has also been seeing increasing counts of Heterosigma over the past 3 days but nothing in the millions as what is being seen eastward of Guemes Island.
