| Abstract: | Results are given from collections made during eight cruises over the northeastern continental shelf. Seasonal phytoplankton assemblages are noted, which include a variety of ultraplankton components. Areas of greatest cell concentrations were at near shore stations, Georges Bank, and at scattered sites over the shelf. Dominant species included Skeletonema costatum, Asterionella glacialis and Leptocylindrus danicus. |
