Abstract:	Long-lasting cyanobacterial blooms occur in the hypertrophic Lake Syczyńskie. Among the phytoplankton, twenty potentially toxic blue-greens belonging to eight genera and one potentially toxic dinoflagellate Peridinium aciculiferum f. inerme were noted. In the warm seasons of 2004, phytoplankton was predominated by the hepatotoxic cyanobacterium Planktothrix agardhii (60-77% of total phytoplankton abundance), which produced microcystins (approx. 1.1 mg MCLR equiv. g^-1 DW of scum). In summer and fall the abundance of P. agardhii comprised approx. 96% of the abundance of potentially toxic Cyanobacteria.
