Lake Myvatn [Iceland] has 3 irregular basins with different production. The lake is at latitude 65.degree.35''N and at 278 m above sea level. Retention time for the north-basin was 14 d[days], and the south-basin 24 d. Radiation was 79 kcal m-2 yr-1. The temperature amplitude was 18.degree. C yr-1 and 3.degree. C d-1. Average ice-cover was 190 d yr-1. Resuspension is high and varies with depth, and it was 3 times higher in the north than the south basin. Nutrient input was 1.4, 1.5 and 340 g m-2 yr-1 for N, P and Si, respectively. At the outlet the N:P ratio was 8:1. Availability of P seems to limit the phytoplankton production. The phytoplankton succession was: diatoms in spring and autumn, chrysophyceans in early summer and autumn, Anabaena flos-aquae in summer. The relatively low chlorophyll a content was highest during the Anabaena bloom. Diel production was measured at all seasons. High production, due to Anabaena, coincided with high radiation, high temperature and time of ice break. Peak values were similar all years (1971-1976) in south basin. Production was low at other seasons despite considerable biomass. The interrelationship between chlorophyll a, biomass, production and turnover time of phytoplankton is discussed.
