The presence of holococcolithophorids (calcareous nannoplankton) in the marine ecosystems of Andros Island (Aegean Sea, Greece) during August 2001. 6th Pan-Hellenic Geographical Conference of the Hellenic Geographical Society [Internet]. 2002;Proceedings(1):371-379.
Abstract:
Water samples for coccolithophorid analysis were collected in August 2001, from 8 stations along a transect in the gulf of Korthi (Andros Island, Aegean sea). Samples were collected from 0-120m water-depth. Holococcolithophorid absolute abundances usually range between 7.29x103 and 0.06x103 cells/l. The derived distribution patterns indicate that holococcolithophorids bearing holococcoliths with convex cover above the tube, may constitute a significant part of the summer flora in the uppermost photic zone of the coastal waters of Andros island, showing affinities to shallower environments.
