Abstract
    The Sluice Dock at Ostend has been investigated for phytoplankton populations and primary production for the years 1971 and 1972. Nannoplankton is demonstrated to take a prominent part in pelagic primary production. The seasonal cycle shows a short spring outburst of Eutreptiella marina da Cunha followed by a depressed production period (May). Summer is the most productive; several nannoplankton populations appear successively in this period. The depression in May is discussed in relation to zooplankton activity.
