Abundance and distribution of tintinnid ciliates in an ice edge zone during the austral autumn
Tintinnid ciliates were present throughout the upper (100m) water column of the ice-edge zone when sampled in autumn 1986 in the Weddell Sea. Biomass ranged from 0.02 μgC1 −1 under the sea-ice to 1.3 μgC1 −1 in the ice-free water column. Cymatocylis, Codonellopsis, Laackmaniella and a small Salpinge...
