A bloom of Gymnodinium sp. is described in terms of its distribution, growth rate, production, and rate of diffusion. Production measurements on a second bloom of the same organism are also cited. In the center of the first bloom cell concentrations ranged from 1 to 18 million cells per liter. Net production ranged from 2.18 to 13.7 mg C/liter/day. Coefficients of horizontal eddy diffusion as calculated from the observed dinoflagellate distributions were low, ranging from near zero to 350 g/cm/sec.
