Spatial and temporal distributions of Peridinium penardii were studied during a spring bloom. Blooms developed at the mouths of tributary streams after periods of high runoff and lasted for about 3 weeks. Allochthonous inputs may be necessary for the development of dinoflagellate blooms in this reservoir.
