Nannoplankton flagellates, 12—15 μm in diameter and 4—6 μm "monads" were the principal algae of the plankton. Diatoms, present in a low abundance, were dominated by Thalassiosira antarctica and several species of the genera Nitzschia and Chaetoceros. Peaks of cell numbers within the 1—10 m surface stratum and at the bottom of the euphotic zone were characteristic of the vertical distribution of phytoplankton. Light, water movements and density micro-gradients were the likely factors controlling the vertical distribution of algae.}, type={Article}, title={Small-scale vertical distribution of phytoplankton in Ezcurra Inlet (Admiralty Bay, South Shetland Islands)}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/111636/PDF-MASTER/1980_4_077-096.pdf}, keywords={Antarctic, phytoplankton, small-scale vertical distribution}, }
