Abstract

Reports 1954 investigations of plant plankton with special attention to the quantitative dynamics of different taxonomic groups of flagellates. Samples were taken June 12-Sept. 7 at 25 stations in six ecological niches and cycles: below the ice, meltwater pools, coastal and offshore (to about 10 mi) leads, lagoons and lakes along the shore, inshore waters, sandy and muddy sites. The species found and listed include 90 diatoms, 79 dinoflagellates, 19 minor flagellates, 12 algae, and 18 ciliates. Among them are five new species for which taxonomic description is given, as it is for Amphidiopsis kafoidi Woloszynska, a rare species previously known only from the Baltic.
