Description
Summary:This paper adds to a series of studies addressing the distribution of living coccolithophores in the Southern Ocean (SO). We investigated plankton samples collected during RV Polarstern cruise ANT-XXVI/2 (from 27th November 2009 to 27th January 2010) along a broad E-W transect in the Pacific sector of the SO during austral summer. One hundred and fifty samples fromtwenty-nine stationswere collected fromthe upper 150mof the water column. Both coccoliths and coccospheres per samplewere counted separately using a scanning electronmicroscope (SEM). The highest abundances of 640 · 103 coccospheres/l were reached close to the Subtropical Front (STF) and increases in the numbers of coccospheres and coccoliths were found both at the Subantarctic Front (SAF) and the Polar Front (PF). However, the numbers decrease southward until almost a monospecific assemblage and sporadic record of Emiliania huxleyi (types B/C and C) south of the PF. Thirty-three coccolithophore species, including sixteen species found as isolated ... : Supplement to: Saavedra-Pellitero, Mariem; Baumann, Karl-Heinz; Flores, José-Abel; Gersonde, Rainer (2014): Biogeographic distribution of living coccolithophores in the Pacific sector of the Southern Ocean.
