- Abstract
The article presents a study which investigates the association between the populations of predatory fishes and macroalgal blooms in the Baltic Sea. The study examined macroalgal formation, compared the impact of nutrient or predator availability on macroalgal production and controlled invertebrate grazers. It shows that the predatory fish population has a negative correlation with the algal production and grazers demonstrate no significant effect on algal and predatory population.
