SoundHAB: Monday July 5th Eagle Harbor clear of Heterosigma

[Megan Black]

The Heterosigma bloom at Eagle Harbor of Bainbridge Island was gone by  
Monday, July 5th as of 9pm.  Instead there were many heterotrophic  
dinoflagellates present.  I expect the dinos had a feast.  I observed  
many fish jumping in the harbor.

Also, the Heterosigma cells observed that were collected on Friday,  
July 2nd were very lightly pigmented small cells that had an unusually  
lumpy exterior surface.  After they heated up from the light on the  
scope, they rounded up into the more recognizable cells.  These Eagle  
Harbor samples also contained a number of actively feeding Noctiluca.
