Abstract
Incident irradiance, surface water temperature and phytoplankton species abundances were measured at weekly intervals in Narragansett Bay from 1959 through 1980. Stepwise discriminant analyses (SDA) of this 22-year data set indicate that fundamental ecosystem changes occurred between the 1960s and 1970s, with 1969 being the key transitional year in these decadal shifts in phyto plankton taxonomic structure and seasonal abundance. This decadal shift was accompanied by the increased summer abundance of small
