SoundHAB: Heterosigma in Nanaimo Hbr

[Nicky Haigh]

Heterosigma appears to be on the upswing in Nanaimo.  Samples taken
yesterday evening (July 17) had 500 - 600 cells/mL at 1m.  Algal biomass
was moderate to high in this sample, with a mixture of Heterosigma, lots
of dinoflagellates and ciliates, and Rhizosolenia setigera (max
~130/mL).   Algae concentrations (and Heterosigma) were much less in 5m
and 10m samples.
