In the Baltic Sea the process of eutrophication - increasing productivity - has became accelerated in the recent century and presently it stands the major ecological problem of this sea. One of the characteristic symptoms of eutrophication is an increase of nutrient reserves in the euphotic layer during winter accumulation, providing favourable feeding conditions for the intensive development of spring phytoplankton population, the main source of organic material in the marine ecosystem. In this study an attempt was undertaken to correlate the variability of biological parameters (phyto-plankton biomass and chlorophyll concentration) determined between 1989-1998 with chemical (nutrient concentrations in winter, oxygen saturation) and physical ones (water transparency). The parameters under scrutiny are measured regularly in water of the Bornholm Deep, SE Gotland Deep and Gdansk Deep within the framework of the Baltic Sea monitoring programme. The mean annual biomass of phytoplankton and mean annual chlorophyll content in the surface (0-10 m) layer were related to winter concentrations of phosphate, nitrate and silicate. Water saturation with oxygen during vegetation season was analysed in relation to biological parameters and the same analysis was carried out for water transparency. Statistically significant correlations between the analysed determinands were found in water of the Gdansk Deep and SE Gotland Basin but not for the Bornholm Deep.

In 1994, the Environmental Committee of the Helsinki Commission recommended that all laboratories providing data within the monitoring programmes of the Baltic Sea (HELCOM BMP) and HELCOM CMP (HELCOM COMBINE since 1996) should implement quality assurance system in monitoring activities. Quality assurance system includes validation of applied analytical methods, that is evaluation of measurement errors (measurement uncertainty) under current laboratory conditions. Some elements of quality assurance system implemented at the Marine Chemistry Laboratory of the Institute of Meteorology and Water Management in Gdynia are presented regarding method validation, i.e. experimental determination of precision, bias and detection limit of analytical methods in use and experimental determination of measurement uncertainty related to sampling for nutrient analyses. Results of internal quality control are also presented as well as results of international analytical proficiency tests in which the laboratory participates as a form of external quality control.
