Cluster analysis has confirmed the presence of two groups of samples: spring and summer ones (October to April), rich in cells and in species, and, on the other hand, winter samples (June to August) impoverished in algae. Spring and summer fluctuations of diatoms were mainly due to Corethron criophilum, Rhizosolenia alata and its varieties, R. hebetata f. semispina, Thalassiosira spp., Chaetoceros spp., and Nitzschia spp. (Fragilariopsis and Pseudonitzschia groups). The abundance and succession of species in Admiralty Bay reflect seasonal differences in diatom growth; they also reflect mixed populations of the Weddell and Bellingshausen seas entering Admiralty Bay via Bransfield Strait. Striking poverty of algae in some summer samples can most likely be attributed to zooplankton grazing.}, type={Article}, title={Net phytoplankton annual cycle (February 1990—January 1991) in Admiralty Bay, King George Island, West Antarctic}, URL={http://sd.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/111071/PDF-MASTER/1993-4_383-392.pdf}, keywords={Antarctic, South Shetland Islands, Admiralty Bay, net phytoplankton, annual cycles}, }
