ABSTRACT
A fuzzy logic model for predicting the maximum biomass of thetoxic cyanobacteria Nodularia spumigena bloom in the Gulf ofFinland is suggested. The model bloom biomass depends on thephosphate conditions up to 15 June, including the excess phosphateleft over after the spring bloom and on the phosphate inputsparameterised by wind mixing and upwelling from 1 May to 15 June.The surface layer temperature, set to vary from 14 to 23ºC,is regarded as a bloom regulating parameter. The model simulationsshowed that the predicted N. spumigena biomasses differ markedlyfrom year to year and clearly depend on phosphate conditionsup to 15 June.
