  abstract = {{P}hytoplankton plays a key role in aquatic ecosytems as an oxygen producer, a {CO}2 trap, a primary source of food in trophic chains and as an indicator of changes in the environment. {H}owever, despite this positive importance, it can also develop into harmful algal blooms. {W}ith the aim of increasing knowledge about this group of microorganisms in {M}exican aquatic ecosystems, a list of the phytoplankton species of the {S}ontecomapan {L}agoon was made indicating  those that potentially can provoke red tides. {B}esides, the distribution  and abundance of these species was studied in two seasons, the rainy one ({J}une, 2015) and the dry one ({F}ebruary, 2016) on eight sampling stations. {P}hytoplankton samples were collected with a {V}an {D}orn bottle to measure environmental factors  (transparency, salinity, temperature, p{H} and dissolved oxygen). {A} list with 357 species with a clear dominance of diatoms (67.8%) and dinoflagellates (20.16%) was obtained from literature review and materials derived from this study. {A}mong them, 19.88% can potentially from red tides, and some of them are toxic. {F}rom the sample collected, 102 species of phytoplankton were recorded; 42 of them during the rainy season, 65 during the dry one and 7 pr{\'e}sents in both. {A}mong these species, 17 can potentially form red tides and from these, only two can be toxic for humans : {D}inophysis caudata and {L}yngbya majuscula. {T}he cluster analysis of the environmental factors showed the formation of four groups in the rainy season and three in the dry season, associated to teh salinity gradients.},
