There is another bloom of this critter and our PSP count went from <38 last week to 51 on the 5th.
I counted 2 Alexandrium on week before.
Count on the 5th in WW was 280,000 c/l and in 10 X 466000 c/l ( and I counted to samples just to make sure - and cleaned the slide carefully between.) Doe the Akashiwo eat everything else?
Has this count been seen before in QMH?
Any idea of what it takes for it to survive this long or what happens when it dies off or when it will die off?
Karlista?
