We studied the composition and density of the algae of the littoral epilithon and the taxa turnover in nine lentic water bodies at Hope Bay, Antarctic Peninsula, during summer 2002. At each site we measured the main physical and chemical variables, and took epilithic samples for the algal analysis....
