The characteristics of environmental factors in flood season are obvious, such as adequate nutrient and high temperature.In order to study the characteristics of algae species in Xiangxi Bay in flood season,the physical and chemical factors were monitored in the flood season of 2017, and the variation of chlorophyll-a and nutrients were analyzed. The results showed that chlorophyll-a was positively correlated with dissolved oxygen,water temperature, and chemical oxygen demand,and was negatively correlated with transparency, total nitrogen and nitrogen-phosphorus ratio, but had no correlation with total phosphorus and pH. In June, the dominant algae was Peridiniopsis which distributed in the upper and middle reaches, while the dominant algae in the downstream were mostly cyanobacteria and green algae.In July, the dominant algae was cyanobacteria, which almost covered the whole Xiangxi Bay. In August, the dominant algae changed into cyanobacteria and green algae, which mainly distributed in the upper and middle reaches.Water temperature was not the main factor affecting the outbreak of Peridiniopsis blooms;phosphorus and hydrodynamic would indirectly affect the growth of Peridiniopsis.Water temperature, hydrodynamics, pH and nutrients,especially nitrogen were all factors affecting the outbreak of cyanobacterial blooms. The environmental factors in August were still suitable for the growth of cyanobacteria one of the reasons why green algae became the dominant algae was the influence of ammonium,another reason was that some green algae produced harmful substance after death and decay, which inhibited the growth of other plants. In August, the chl.a concentration reached the threshold of the outbreak of green algae blooms.
