Marine epiphytic diatoms from the shallow sublittoral zone in Potter Cove, King George Island, Antarctica
Abstract Marine epiphytic diatoms in the Antarctic Peninsula have not been studied in detail previously, and information on their distribution and occurrence is scarce. We studied the marine epiphytic diatoms on several species of macroalgae belonging to the Rhodophyta, Phaeophyceae and Chlorophyta....
