Seasonal and nyctemeral variations of the phytoplankton and hydrological parameters were studied at a fixed station (00º46'37.2"S-046º43'24.5"W) situated in Canela Island (Bragança-Pará) in September and December, 2004 and in March and June, 2005. Subsurface water samples were taken for qualitative and quantitative phytoplankton studies and to determine chlorophyll a concentrations. Simultaneously physical and chemical parameters were measured: salinity, temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen and percent of oxygen saturation. A total of 64 taxa belonging to Cyanophyta (one taxon), Bacillariophyta (54 taxa) and Dinophyta (nine taxa) were identified. Chlorophyll a concentrations ranged from 4.67 mg m-3 (dry season), to 5.44 mg m-3 (rainy season) and follow phytoplankton densities, which were higher during the rainy period (mean values of 1,870 x 103 cell L-1). Phytoflagellates quantitatively dominated the local phytoplanktonic community followed by diatoms. Dimeregramma minor and Skeletonema sp. were abundant and ve
