Overcast at the wharf this am with scattered rain in the area.  Bait ball was around the wharf (but not directly in the sampling area) and lots of birds in the area (mostly Pelicans this am).  Phytoplankton biomass was about the same this week, but shifted to smaller cells.  Dinoflagellate abundance and diversity both increased this week and an unknown flagellate was the most abundant.

Fog clearing out from the wharf this am.  CA sea lion snoozing on a piling support beam at the sampling site.  Phytoplankton biomass was similar to last week, but the assemblage shifted to mostly dinoflagellates.  A “little round ball” dino (~15um diameter) was the most abundant this week.  Saw a couple Alexandrium cells in the net tow, but none in the probe counts.

Foggy and cool at the wharf this am.  Brown waves breaking at the beach and the large bait ball remains under the wharf and in the sampling area.  Phytoplankton biomass increased this week and those unknown flagellates were the most abundant.  Pseudo-nitzschia were seriata and delicatissima size and Alexandrium counts increased by an order of magnitude.

Sunny and cool at the wharf this morning.  This week’s net tow was a little different, the sample was mostly tiny cells (< 5um, round-ish and oblong) and the next most abundant thing was Mesodinium.  If we overlook those 2 groups, the (large cell) phytoplankton biomass decreased and the assemblage shifted to mostly dinoflagellates.  Dinophysis were the most abundant of the dinos and diatoms.

Overcast and cool this am at the wharf, but the pigeon guillemots have arrived, so its officially spring!  The bait ball is still around (lots of poop in the net tow), but fish were not directly in the sampling area.  Phytoplankton biomass increased and the assemblage remains mostly diatoms.  Thalassiosira was the most abundant this week.  Pseudo-nitzschia were seriata size (single cells and chains) and cell counts increased – both P. australis and P. multiseries were observed.

Sunny and cool at the wharf this am with a bait ball in the sampling area.  Net tow was mostly detritus/debris, again.  But there was an increase in phytoplankton biomass and the assemblage remains mostly diatoms (lots of diversity).  Thalassionema and Chaetoceros were the most abundant.  Pseudo-nitzschia were both seriata and delicatissima size.

Today’s sample occurred at nearly high tide, with a high amount of sediments stirred up in the water column. Chlorophyll is down from last week, but diversity within the sample remains high.

It was warm and sunny out, and the Chaetoceros at the wharf was taking full advantage. Chlorophyll in the net was down from last week, but the Chaetoceros still dominated the sample. Plenty of diversity among diatoms, with the other major players including Pseudo-nitzschia and Thalassiosira.

The water at MWII looked like pool water today: Water color was #32 – a vivid blue-green – and water visibility remains high (>10ft, as we’ve seen it since early December). Water temperature also continues to hold steady (13.5C). Conditions were sunny and breezy; water was calm. The net was quick to drain, no odor. The net tow was sparse (low biomass) and contained mostly a smattering of diatoms.

Today was sunny yet chilly out on the wharf due to a slight breeze. There were lots of suspended sediments in the water column, but the diatoms were still prolific. Between all the granules, my sample was dominated by Thalassiosira, Lauderia and Chaetoceros. Chlorophyll is up from last week, at 4.027 mg/m3.

Partly cloudy and cold this morning at the wharf – the tail end of the break in the rain.  Water was choppy with a decent swell rolling through.  Not surprising, the net tow was mostly detritus/debris with very little phytoplankton biomass.  Assemblage shifted to mostly diatoms, with Chaetoceros and Skeletonema being most abundant.  Pseudo-nitzschia counts increased this week – both P. australis and P. multiseries.

It was chilly out today but warmed up quite a bit while I was out there. Plenty of suspended sediments in the water, which made some sense with the recent rains. In the same vein, there wasn’t a lot of biomasses within my sample, but chlorophyll is higher this week than last.

Cloudy and cold morning at the wharf, with a ton of wildlife.  Birds and mammals very active in and around the bait ball.  Phytoplankton biomass was about the same as last week, but the assemblage shifted slightly with an increase in diatoms.  Flagellates (Pyramamonas, clusterflagellates, and some unknowns) were the most abundant with Akashiwo as a distant second.  Alexandrium counts decreased again this week.  Pseudo-ntizschia were mostly delicatissima size, but the P. multiseries counts increased.

Sunny and cool at the wharf.  A bait ball has been hanging out by the wharf for a week or so and there was lots of bird/mammal activity.  Phytoplankton biomass was about the same as last week with an increase in diversity.  Net tow was mostly dinoflagellates, but that unknown flagellate from a few weeks ago was back along with another smaller round one.  Gymnodinium and the flagellates were the most abundant.  Alexandrium were noticeably higher this week, a few 8-cell chains were seen on the filter, along with a lot of 4-cell chains.  And there was a chain of P. multiseries in the probe counts today as well.

Sunny and cool at the wharf this am – it is starting to feel like fall.  Net tow was similar to last week - phytoplankton biomass about the same and the assemblage was mostly dinoflagellates, but Prorocentrum was the most abundant.  Alexandrium counts increased this week – saw some happy 4-cell chains zooming around the petri dish.

It was a bit surgy out today so there was some sediment in my sample. Visibility was low (~2m) and biomass was mostly dinoflagellates: Akashiwo and Prorocentrum dominated the sample.

Sunshine over the wharf this am, with the fog bank further out over the water.  Water was pretty clear and the phytoplankton biomass decreased again this week.  Phytoplankton assemblage remains mostly dinoflagellates, but Akashiwo was the most abundant this week.  Alexandrium counts decreased again this week.
