Life Strategy of Arctic Marine Phytoplankton in Central Part of Svalbard

Marine phytoplankton is an elementary compound of food chain in the Arctic. The main phytoplankton blooms develop in spring and autumn. Its overwintering strategies are still not fully understood. Recent studies suggest that a part of the population is captured during new sea ice formation. Mixot...
