## Abstract We summarize the current state of the long term discussion about the saturation mechanisms associated with rapid growth of smallβscale magnetic field, that operate in largeβscale galactic dynamos, and related problems with magnetic helicity conservation. Our general conclusion is that,
## Abstract We discuss nonlinear meanβfield galactic dynamo models and associate a universal mechanism for saturation of the dynamo with the transport of magnetic helicity. The crucial point for saturation of the dynamo is the existence of a nonβzero flux of magnetic helicity. We demonstrate that t
