Otero Lake is the main water body of Cierva Point, Danco Coast (SSSI No. 15). During the 1992/1993 and 1994/1995 seasons, abiotic parameters and the structure and dynamics of the phytoplankton were studied. Algal assemblages from the phytoplankton, from algal clumps encased in the lake ice and from...
