A revised checklist of planktonic diatoms and dinofiageliates from Helgoland(North Sea,German Bight)

摘要

A checklist based on net samples taken twice weekly from 2001 until May 2003 is presented.Identification is based on observations under direct light microscopy and after taking some organisms in culture.The checklist includes 227 taxa observed at the Helgoland Reede sampling station.One hundred and thirty-two species of diatoms from 53 genera and 95 species of dinofiageliates from 35 genera have been recorded from net samples and cultures.Thirty-five diatom and 28 dinoflagellate taxa were documented in the Helgoland phytoplankton for the first time.The list does not claim to be complete,but provides an updated list of the taxa found at Helgoland and,for convenience,also includes data published for different adjacent areas.
