Resolute Passage
Ice algal assemblages are distributed widely and carry out primary production in sea ice covered oceans (i.e., HORNER et al., 1992; LEGENDRE et al., 1992). In the northern hemisphere, sea ice extends from Arctic Ocean to the southern edge of the Sea of Okhotsk (44-45ON); therefore, the growth habita...

| Summary: | Ice algal assemblages are distributed widely and carry out primary production in sea ice covered oceans (i.e., HORNER et al., 1992; LEGENDRE et al., 1992). In the northern hemisphere, sea ice extends from Arctic Ocean to the southern edge of the Sea of Okhotsk (44-45ON); therefore, the growth habitats of ice algae show marked differences of physical, chemical and biological environments. In this study, temporal changes of biomass (chl. a) , species composition and photosynthetic production of ice algae were comparatively observed in two extremely different sea ice regions, Saroma KO lagoon and Resolute Passage, in 1992. A centric diatom, Detonula conferevaceae, dominated throughout the sampling |
