General introductory remarks discuss different kinds of pollution, ecological factors, the ecological va- lence of algae and the significance of their quantities. The author's observations of influence of different pollutants on the benthic algal flora in certain lakes and rivers are described, and results are discussed with numerous references to the literature.

and nutrient enrichment in the continental coastal zones of the North Sea. Ambio, 16(1):38-46.

Blooms of the planktonic alga Phaeocystis pouchetii in the coastal North Sea have occurred more frequently and intensively over the past twenty years, probably as a result of nutrient enrichment from river discharge. The peculiar physiology of this colony-forming flagellate strongly influences the structure and function of the coastal ecosystem. It is a major nuisance alga mainly because it can lead to the development of massive foam banks which accumulate near shore. Groupe de Microbiol. des Milieux Aquatiques, Univ. of Brussels, 50 av.

Effects of oil and oil dispersant on an enclosed marine ecosystem. Environ. S ci. Technol., 21(4): 374-382.

Measured ecosystem parameters included abun- dance of heterotrophic bacteria, periphyton and phytoplankton photosynthesis, growth of blad- derwrack, zooplankton abundance and diversity, physiological responses of certain crustaceans and molluscs, and growth of blue mussels. In addition, net photosynthesis and respiration of the ecosystem were studied. Concentrations of oil in water and blue mussels were monitored. Results showed that almost all the measured parameters were affected, although several indicated a stronger response to oil alone than to oil plus dispersant. The use of oil dispersants on diverse shallow water communities may produce greater acute effects than if a dispersant is not used. The long-term effects, however, may prove to be less severe than the dispersion of oil by natural processes. Swedish Environ. Res. Group, Baltic Sea Lab., Utovagen 5, S-371 37 Karlskrona, Sweden.
