On the basis of materials collected in June-August 1994 characteristic data on microplankton were gathered in three biotopes of the eastern shelf of the Bering Sea: open shelf (coastal zone), the harbor, and the salt lagoon of Saint Paul Island (Pribiof Islands). The following parameters of microplanktonic communities were analyzed: abundance, biomass, and production of autotrophic picoplankton (picoalgae and cyanobacteria); abundance, biomass, growth rate constant, and production of bacterioplankton; role of filiform bacteria in bacterioplankton; species composition of heterotrophic flagellates and ciliates, their abundance, and biomass. Growth rates and consumption rates of picoplankton and bacterioplankton by heterotrophic nano- and microplankton were estimated in the experiments using the dilution method. Temporal dynamics of all structural and functional parameters of microplankton were analyzed. The minor role of autotrophic picoplankton and significant role of bacterioplankton as well as heterotrophic ... : Supplement to: Kopylov, A I; Kosolapov, D B; Flint, Mikhail V (2001): Microplanktonic communities in the coastal waters, harbor, and salt lagoon of Saint Paul Island (Pribilof Islands, Bering Sea): Structural and functional analysis.
