Aims
- To improve the understanding of plankton diversity, spatial and temporal distribution and the
development of algal blooms in the sea. Harmful algae will be in focus. - To exchange experiences of using devices aimed at automated observations of
phytoplankton including harmful algae. Instruments include multispectral fluorometers, flow
cytometers and in situ video systems. - To compare the performance of different instruments. Note: a proper scientific inter-
comparison of instruments with replicated samples etc. is not the aim of the workshop. - To promote cooperation and to plan future work in WP3.1 and 4.1.
