Conclusions • 454 Next Generation Sequencing technology can
work well on archival, formalin-preserved samples. • Spatio-temporal differences in phytoplankton
communities are evident from conventional CPR analysis.
• Two major species of Pseudo-nitzschia were found over three years that were geographically split.
• No real effect of PDO on Pn -except perhaps for P. hasleana that appeared during a strongly negative PDO phase. Pseudo-nitzschia may be influenced by other environmental factors
