Studies were carried out on net phytoplankton of an urban Lake Jeziorak Maly, Mazurian Lakeland. Samples collected in 1996 showed domination of blue-green algae(67% of the total phytoplankton number). Limnothrix redeckei and Plankto-thrix agardhii were particularly abundant. The measurement of the water temperature during the mass occurrence of these species revealed, that Limnothrix redeckei dominated at 180C and Planktothrix agardhii at 200C.
