| Summary: | A history of sea ice biota studies which were carried out at Syowa Station (69°00′S, 39°35′E) and its vicinity is outlined. The process of the surface community formation in ice floes, the bimodal proliferation of ice algae in the bottom layer of fast ice and the algae-copepod-fish link associated with fast ice were mainly investigated. Based on the results obtained from the Syowa Station area and those from other locations, the distribution of ice algal communities, the seasonality in formation of the ice algal community and the food chain associated with sea ice are discussed. Finally, a need for comparative research on Arctic and Antarctic ecosystems is suggested. |
