Altogether 70 algal taxa were identified. Phytoplankton density and seston biomass were the highest in stations neighbouring the Scotia Front from the south. In the Scotia Front region Corethron criophilum was a dominant species. Phytoplankton community of the region is rather uniform, however the closer comparison of the phytoplankton species composition allowed to distinguish 4 stations groups. This division is concordant with the hydrological one. A different phytoplankton community was recorded in the eastern part of the Bransfield Strait.}, type={Article}, title={Distribution of net phytoplankton in the Scotia Front west of Elephant Island (BIOMASS III, October-November 1986)}, URL={http://so.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/111263/PDF-MASTER/1988_2-3_243-264.pdf}, keywords={Antarctic, Scotia Front, distribution of diatoms, BIOMASS III}, }
