Weexamined efficacy of threecommercial ballast water biocides,SeaKleen®, Peraclean® Ocean andVibrex®, using vegetativemicroalgae, dinoflagellate cysts andbacteria as test organisms.Peraclean® Ocean could effectivelyinactivate dinocysts ofGymnodinium catenatum,Alexandrium catenella andProtoceratium reticulatum at 400ppm, c<strong>on</strong>trol bacterial growth at125-250 ppm, and eliminatevegetative dinoflagellate cells at100ppm. It was biodegradablewithin 2-6 weeks. SeaKleen® didnot inactivate cysts of A. catenellaat 5 times recommended dose (10ppm), exhibited poor bactericidalproperties (100-200 ppm required),and poor biodegradability (assessedthrough impact <strong>on</strong> motility ofvegetative microalgae). Thechlorine dioxide biocide Vibrex® isnot a suitable ballast watertreatment due to the need forhydrochloric acid as activator,however it was the most effectiveagainst bacteria (complete inhibiti<strong>on</strong>at 15 ppm). The performance ofbiocides was adversely influencedby low temperatures (6 vs 17 °C),light vs dark c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s, andincidence of humus and sediments.Routine applicability of activesubstances is limited by c<strong>on</strong>cernsas to cost, biological effectiveness,ship crew safety and residualtoxicity of discharged ballast water.PO.10-10Vertical distributi<strong>on</strong> of twopotentially toxic Dinophysisspecies (Dinophyceae) in thenorthern Baltic SeaSessi<strong>on</strong>: PO.10 - Ecophysiology &AutecologyHA Hällfors 1 , S Hajdu 2 , H Kuosa 3 , ULarss<strong>on</strong> 21 Finnish Institute of Marine Research,HELSINKI, Finland2 Stockholm University, STOCKHOLM,Sweden3 University of Helsinki, HELSINKI, FinlandThe potentially toxic dinoflagellatesDinophysis acuminata and D.norvegica are dominant am<strong>on</strong>gDinophysis species in the BalticSea. We investigated their verticaldistributi<strong>on</strong>s in the open northernBaltic proper and western Gulf ofFinland. Dinohysis acuminata wasc<strong>on</strong>siderably more abundant thanD. norvegica, especially in the Gulfof Finland. Dinophysis norvegicawas more frequent and occurred inhigher abundances in the northernBaltic proper. It occurred in anarrower temperature and salinityrange and may need a more stablewater column to develop abundant184
