Spatial and temporal distribution of nanoflagellates in the northern South China Sea
Seasonal variation, horizontal and vertical distribution, and cell size of nanoflagellates, together with physico-chemical and biological factors, were studied in the northern South China Sea (SCS). It was found that nanoflagellate abundance ranged from 0.157 x 10(3) to 9.193 x 10(3) cells/ml (with...
