Date: 1993Title/Ch.: The nutrient <strong>and</strong> hydrographic conditions prevailing in Laguna Madre, Texasbefore <strong>and</strong> during a brown tide bloomBook: Toxic Phytoplankton Blooms in the SeaEditor: T. J. Smayda <strong>and</strong> Y. ShimizuPages: 711-716Publisher: Elsevier Science Publishers B. V.Key words: nutrients, Laguna Madre, Texas, brown tide, bloom, pigment, chrysophyte, BaffinBay, dissolved inorganic nitrogen, ammoniumSummary: An unidentified aberrant chrysophyte bloomed widely for more than 18 months inthe hypersaline Laguna Madre. The bloom followed dissolved inorganic nitrogen(DIN) concentrations <strong>of</strong> almost 20 µmol/l, especially in Baffin Bay, withammonium composing 60-95% <strong>of</strong> the DIN. Baffin Bay, subject to annual salinityvariations <strong>of</strong> as much as 65 ppt, also had the greatest salinity <strong>of</strong> the north to southgradient in the Laguna Madre, ranging from 40-60 ppt during the bloom.Methods: See “Methods.”QA/QC: None per se; see “Methods.”Contact: Terry E.
