Results showed that there were 4 phyla, 39 genera and 102 species, including Bacillariophyta, Pyrrophyta, Chlorophyta and Chrysophyta. There were 29 genera and 75 species for Bacillariophyta, 8 genera and 55 species for Pyrrophyta, 1 genera and 1 species for Chlorophyta, and 1 genera and 1 species for Chrysophyta, respectively. Phytoplankton in this bay was dominated by Bacillariophyta and Pyrrophyta, whose genera and species were increasing from north to south, along with the increasing of water temperature.
