Title and scientific content of the training course

9th Advanced Phytoplankton Course – Taxonomy and Systematics (APC9)

The Course belongs to a series started in 1976 upon recommendation of the SCOR-WG on Phytoplankton
Methods (WG 33). Its main goal is the training and upgrade of qualified students in the identification of
phytoplankton species. The Course provides an updated theoretical background for the morphology,
taxonomy, classification and phylogeny of species of the most important marine phytoplankton groups.

The Course aims at:


• teaching methods and criteria for species identification,
• updating information on specialized literature,
• spreading information and awareness on toxic and potentially toxic species,
• creating a forum for discussion of general and specific aspects of biodiversity and biogeography of
phytoplankton species.

4. Description and program of the training course


The Course is planned for 20 participants. The Course will consist of theoretical and practical sessions, with
examination of a broad collection of fixed, live and slide material provided by the faculty and the
participants. Relevant techniques will be presented.

• Theoretical classrooms on general taxonomic features of marine phytoplankton


• Practical classrooms on light microscopy (LM) identification
• Special LM techniques
• Scanning (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) techniques and observations
• Phytoplankton cultivation techniques
• Serial dilution technique
• Molecular phylogenetic methods
• Integrative seminars on specific taxonomic issues/taxa (e.g. HABs, marine cyanobacteria, etc.).
