摘要
The present paper deals with the composition and distribution of nano-and microdiatoms in sands and grits covered by ice and snow in the intertidal zones of the Zhongshan Station in Larsemann Hills (69°21'~69°25'S, 76°00'~76°25'E ), East Antarctica. The samples were collected from seven sand-grit flat stations in January 1989 and February 1990. The highest cell density of nano-and microdiatoms occurred at Station B. The cell concentration was 0. 8×103~3651×103 cells per gram sand in January 1989 and 4. 5×103~2618×103 cells Per gram in February 1990 respectively.The nano-and microdiatoms in the intertidal zones were small in cell size and high in abundance. The dominant species was Navicula glaciei.
