Dinoflagellate abundance in the Laguna Botos, Poas volcano, Costa Rica

Phytoplankton of the Botos lagoon of Poas volcano is dominated by dinoflagellates. The two species of greatest abundance in March 1979 were Peridinium incospicuum Lemm. and P. volzii Lemm. which represented 96% of total cells. The identity of these species was confirmed by electron microscopy. Both...

Zusammenfassung:Phytoplankton of the Botos lagoon of Poas volcano is dominated by dinoflagellates. The two species of greatest abundance in March 1979 were Peridinium incospicuum Lemm. and P. volzii Lemm. which represented 96% of total cells. The identity of these species was confirmed by electron microscopy. Both species are cosmopolitan. Without further research it is premature to compare Botos Lagoon with similar lakes in Central America.
