The coccolithophore distribution was quantitatively documented through Scanning Electron Microscopy in&amp;nbsp;terms of density, diversity and community structure. In the study period, the most abundant species was &lt;em&gt;Emiliania huxleyi&lt;/em&gt;, followed by &lt;em&gt;Rhabdosphaera&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;clavigera&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Syracosphaera pulchra&lt;/em&gt;, while additional important component of the winter assemblages were &lt;em&gt;Helicosphaera carteri&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Algirosphaera&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;robusta&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Syracosphaera molischii&lt;/em&gt;. The studied coccolithophore communities indicate a close relationship between coccosphere densities and surface&amp;nbsp;water circulation, with the surface temperature gradient affecting species composition.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
