Notes:
Evidence is presented of a regular seasonal variation in the filament length of Oscillatoria redekei Van Goor in Lough Neagh. This cycle is not in phase with the seasonal changes of the biomass of the species, but seems to occur in step with the nutrient concentrations. Some possible mechanisms of filament replication are discussed and evidence is presented that mechanical forces are not effective in breaking filaments. The ecological significance of cyclomorphosis in this species is difficult to establish.
