Abstract
The ecotoxicological investigations of resistance of various phytoplankton communities were performed in the Southern Baltic during summer and winter. During these experiments, changes of primary production rate in the presence of different Cu concentrations were measured. The results of the studies revealed an enhancement of the toxic effect with increasing total biomass and productivity in phytocenosis. Total algae biomass on the most stations was increased due to the dinoflagellate growth. On the station near the Gdansk Bay both the portion of the dinoflagellate in phytocenosis and the relative toxic effect were decreased against the background of high total algae biomass. It is suggested that the phytoplankton sensitivity to copper is concerned with the dinoflagellate abundance.
