“…When the C. polykrikoides dominated community changed over (Oct.-Nov.) to the Heterocapsa rotundata, extensive populations of Mesodinium and rotifers appeared. Similar herbivores were noted by Seliger et al (1975) and Burkholder et al (1967) to be important grazers on microflagellates in the succession to dinoflagellate-dominated communities. Mesodinium and rotifers may play a similar function in Pettaquamscutt Cove in driving the succession from one dinoflagellate species to another.…”

“…Vertical migration, phased with 2-layer exchange, may account for the ability of dinoflagellates to maintain their horizontal downstream position (Seliger et al 1975) (the upstream limit of K. rotundatum is defined by the fresh water/brackish water interface). It is obvious from the magnitude of the bloom that biological processes, such as growth for a 4 to 5 mo period, far exceed losses due to downstream transport.…”

“…Ryther 1965, Seliger et al 1975, Margalef 1978, Bowman et al 1981, Incze & Yentsch 1981. Logical arguments (Margalef 1978) and data (Bowman et al 1981) have supported the contention that the condition that gives rise to dinoflagellate blooms -a combination of high nutrient supply and a stable, density-stratified water columnis both transitory and anomalous.…”

“…These blooms spread in a downstream direction in the bay proper such that by late summer Chesapeake Bay from the Potomac River northward is subject to this red tide (previously reported as Gymnodinium nelsoni, Loftus et al, 1972;Seliger and Loftus, 1974;Seliger et al, 1975). Dense surface patches of the organism are usually observed at the mouths of the rivers.…”
