We evaluated the relationships between water masses and pico- and nano-phytoplankton and bacterial abundance in the Chukchi Sea. The abundance of picoplankton ranged from 0.01 × 103 cells∙mL-1 (100 m, station R05) to 2.21 × 103 cells∙mL-1 (10 m, station R05) and that of nanoplankton ranged from 0.03...
