In the present study, the distribution and abundance of microphytoplankton were assessed in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean from subtropical to polar waters (34°–62°S) in two austral springs with contrasting hydrographic conditions. Vertical profiles of open-ocean (ca. 54°W) samples (≥ 18 L filtered...
