| תיאור: | At the beginning of April of 2004 an extensive bloom produced by Cochlodinium polykrikoides was detected, embracing the whole Pacific coast of Costa Rica. The bloom was characterized by a red-oxide colour and was located in front of the beaches of Puntarenas and Caldera in the Gulf of Nicoya, Costa Rica (10°N, 85°W). This phenomenon had never observed before in this country; the species dominated other phytoplankton usually responsible for blooms. The phenomenon started during the previous dry season (from December 2003 to March 2004) showing an important increase in April. |
