Description: In the coastal waters of the state of Campeche, basic information is needed on the presence of harmful phytoplankton species. For this purpose, in 2012 2013 over the course of a year, the water column was monitored monthly at the Puntilla dock, adjacent to Terminos Lagoon, SE Gulf of Mexico. Water temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen saturation and the abundance and composition of phytoplankton were determined. Both temperature and salinity were characterized by marked seasonal differences. The values of pH and oxygen suggested a predominance of photosynthetic activity. The pot entially harmful dinoflagellate Peridinium quinquecorne (up to 1.5x10 6 cells L 1 in the rainy season) and P. minimum (up to 2.3x10 6 cells L 1 in the northern winds season) were found to be blooming. Harmful phytoplankton species were observed in highest ab undances in the rainy and the northern winds seasons.
