Vertical distribution of oceanic tintinnid (Ciliophora: Tintinnida) assemblages from the Bering Sea to Arctic Ocean through Bering Strait

Knowledge on the distribution of plankton species is fundamental to understand planktonic ecosystem structure and function. To understand the difference of tintinnid vertical distribution pattern in the Bering Sea and the Arctic Ocean and their connection through the Bering Strait, we reported the vertical distribution of tintinnid assemblages from the Bering Sea to the Arctic Ocean. Bering Sea-dominant species (Codonellopsis frigida,...
