Phytoplankton data collected in the Black Sea and Bosporus area during a cruise of the R/V "Mgla", 1969 year and processed by Lyudmila Georgieva Samples were taken by 1 L bathometers at standard depths and in the thermocline layer. The standard sedimentation technique for samples preparation (Usachev, 1926) was used. Samples were preserved by buffered formalin 40% and were settled within 30 days. Then a volume of water was siphoned off and samples were concentrated to 10-20 ml. After thorough mixing the subsamples (0.05 or 0.1 ml) were transferred to the counting chamber. Organisms were counted in two subsamples at ×300-400 magnification.
