A study of the diatom-dominated microplankton summer assemblages in coastal waters from Terre Adélie to the Mertz Glacier, East Antarctica (139°E–145°E)
peer reviewed In January 2004 the microplankton community from the coastal waters of Terre Adélie and Georges V Land (139°E - 145°E) was studied. Results showed a diatom-dominated bloom with chlorophyll a levels averaging 0.64 µg.l-1 at 5m depth (range 0.21 - 1.57 µg.l-1). Three geographic assemblag...
