Six bimonthly surveys during 2007 were carried out in Magdalena Bay (Mexico) during spring tide conditions. Spatiotemporal variations of temperature, salinity, nitrite, nitrate, ammonium, phosphate and chlorophyll-α were analyzed in the Bay. During spring-early summer (April-June) seawaters were colder and richer in new nutrients and chlorophyll-α than autumn and winter (February and October-December). The coastal upwelling during spring-early summer contributes with new nutrients to the Bay, whereas bottom-recycled nutrients should be the main input during the autumn-winter period. Thus, nutrients availability, dissolved inorganic nitrogen and phosphate, promote a seasonal pattern of phytoplankton biomass in Magdalena Bay.
