“…Residual heavy metal pollution in the inshore waters near Aberystwyth is a further feature about which little is known. Lloyd (1925) commented on the possible significance of this factor in her studies on Cardigan Bay plankton, but without chemical data. Since 1925 this pollution has largely been eradicated from the Rheidol, but some particulate zinc pollution remains in the Ystwyth (up to 3 ppm soluble zinc; personal communication from the South West Wales Rivers Board).…”

“…The appropriate Monthly Records of the Meteorological Office were consulted for data, with particu/ar regard to rainfall for Aberystwyth. The sea-water samples were collected from a point 2 miles west of Aberystwyth (Station A) fixed by visual land sightings, and approximating to the region where collections were made in an earlier study of phytoplankton (Lloyd, 1925).

Until recently there has been very little information on the quantities of phytoplankton nutrients in the Irish Sea. Slinn (1958–1966) has reported the weekly variations in the nutrient concentrations at a station off Port Erin, Isle of Man, and studies on the nutrient conditions in the Menai Straits have been carried out by Jones (unpublished) and Ewins & Spencer (1967). Liss (1969) has reported on the results of winter surveys of reactive silicate near the Irish coast, and from three stations near the Welsh coast (Anglesey, the Lleyn Peninsula and Fishguard). The present paper describes studies carried out in the inshore waters near Aberystwyth in Cardigan Bay during 1967 and 1968. This investigation formed part of a study of the seasonal occurrence of the phytoplankton and the growth conditions in this shallow, inshore region.
