The diatoms and dinoflagellates of Hudson Bay
Phytoplankton samples from 130 stations in Hudson Bay taken during summer 1975 were examined. Diatoms formed the largest group of phytoplankton comprising 27 genera and 59 species, 24 of which are not previously recorded from Hudson Bay. Twelve genera and 45 species of dinoflagellates were identifie...
