Abstract: Based on the investigation in Nanji Islands sea area of Zhejiang Province from A pril 2006 to March 2007, the dynamics of Alexandrium tamarense and its relations with environmental factors were studied. In the study sea area, A. tamarense cells could only be found in spring (from April to June), and t he cell abundance was of single peak curve, with the highest (12250 cells·L -1) in surface water on 8th of May. Higher cell abundance of A. tamarense was found at the water temperature of 185 ℃〖KG-*4〗-〖KG-*7〗195 ℃, salin ity of 295‰〖KG-*4〗-〖KG-*7〗310‰, and lower PO4-P concentration, but no correlation was observed between A. tamarense cell abundance and water d issolved inorganic N concentration. Linear stepwise regression revealed that the re was a significant positive correlation between the cell abundance of A. tamarense and the ratio of water dissolved inorganic N to PO4-P.
