Lake Kinneret, Israel, is a warm (13-30ยฐC) monomictic lake that stratifies in April and turns over in December. Between January and June each year, a heavy bloom (up to 250 g wet weight m -2) of the dinoflagellate Peridinium gatunense dominates the phytoplankton biomass. In early summer, the bloom c

An unusual situation accompanied the rapid lowering of the lake level which took place during the period 1972-1975 as a result of low amounts of precipitation . The dominant alga of the lake (Peridinium cinctum f . westii), usually blooming from January to May, developed two months later than in pre
