N2 - Since 2002, blooms of Alexandrium catenella sensu Fraga et al. (2015) and paralytic shellfish toxicity events have occurred almost yearly in Osaka Bay, Japan. To better understand the triggers for reoccurring A. catenella blooms in Osaka Bay, phytoplankton community was monitored during the spring seasons of 2012–2015. Monitoring was performed using massively parallel sequencing (MPS)-based technique on amplicon sequences of the 18S rRNA gene. Dense blooms of A. catenella occurred every year except in 2012, however, there was no significant correlation with the environmental parameters investigated. Plankton community diversity decreased before and middle of the A. catenella blooms, suggesting that the decline in diversity could be an indicator for the bloom occurrence. The yearly abundance pattern of A. catenella cells obtained by morphology-based counting coincided with the relative sequence abundances, which supports the effectiveness of MPS-based phytoplankton monitoring.
