Skeletonema subsalsum was recorded to be 17.6% of the biomass in the spring diatom blooms in Lake Erie. These blooms were dominated by native taxa and there was no indication that S. subsalsum was out-competing native species.

N/A
|
In its native range, Skeletonema subsalsum occurs in brackish waters. While it is able to grow and reproduce in freshwater, S. subsalsum does not undergo cell enlargement in freshwater as it does in brackish environments, which might effect its ability to compete with other native species.
