Based on survey data from the Bohai Sea of China in autumn (October) and winter (December) 2019, the structural characteristics of phytoplankton communities and their relationship with environmental factors were analysed. A total of 114 species of phytoplankton belonging to 84 genera and 3 phyla were identified. Warm-water species occurred frequently but cold-water species decreased in the Bohai Sea. This was associated with global warming and rising water temperatures. By comparing with historical data, Paralia sulcata gradually flourished and became the dominant species in autumn and winter, whereas the dominance of Skeletonema costatum decreased. The marine environment of the Bohai Sea has improved significantly in recent years, and phytoplankton biodiversity has increased. In autumn, both total phytoplankton and dinoflagellates were negatively correlated with salinity, and Pseudo-nitzschia delicatissima was positively correlated with nitrite and ammonia nitrogen. In winter, Nitzschia spp. showed a positive correlation with nitrate and a negative correlation with salinity.
