Title:	Blue-green algae (Cyanobacteria) from the Gulf of Gdańsk. A review
Authors:	Pliński Marcin
Abstract:	Seventy-eight species of blue-green algae have been noted in the Gulf of Gdańsk. Chroococcales is represented by nine genera and 28 species, Pleurocapsales by two genera and two species, and Hormogoniales by 21 genera and 48 species. The most abundant number of species come from the following genera: Aphanothece, Synechocystis, Merismopedia, Microcystis, Chroococcus from Chroococcales and Phormidium, Spirulina, Oscillatoria, Lyngbya and Anabaena from Hormogoniales. The majority of the species noted are planktonic forms, while a few that occur are sessile or epiphytic. The small number of the benthonic species identified to date in the Gulf of Gdańsk could be explained by the lack of investigations on this ecological group of cyanobacteria in the Baltic Sea. This review was designed as a key for determining families and genera.
