| Abstract: | Micromonas pusilla (Butcher) Manton & Parke appears to be a prominent member of the Barents Sea picoplankton community as revealed by the serial dilution culture method. Cell numbers frequently exceeded 107 cells 1−1, though they usually varied between 103and 106 cells l−1. A number of other identified and unidentified taxa were recorded and quantified. Distribution relative to the marginal ice zone is reported. |
