Abstract: According to the measurements in Meiliang bay between1998~2000,the effects of algal bloom on N,P,and Kcontents were studied. The results showed that the relationship between the Chl a content and temperature was positive. The lowest contents of NH4+-N,TN, and TP were obtained in August and September every year, and their total content was positively related to the Chl a content. The annual change of Kcontent was similar to that of N and P. Compared to the 8 th sampling point,the content of N and Pat 0th and 6th sampling point was higher,and P was not the limiting factor. But in other areas,P was the limiting factor. It also proved that Microcystis spp. grew to form water bloom only when Ncontent was between 1~4 mg·L-1 and TPcontent was between0.1~0.3 mg·L-1 .

Key words: Chl a, N, P, K, Microcystis spp
