In the above article by A. Shiomoto et al., first published online on 3 August Reference Shiomoto, Asakuma, Hoon, Sakaguchi and Maekawa2011, the following errors were made. The article running heads were incorrect and should read EARLY SPRING BLOOM OF LARGE DIATOMS IN SAROMA-KO LAGOON. In Figures 3 and 5 the horizontal axis labels were incorrectly placed. In Figure 4A the numbers along the horizontal axes are misaligned and in Figure 4A and B the months of February, March and April are missing. The correct Figures 3–5 are displayed below.
