Abstract
Unlike Hey wood’s reviews (1972, 1977a), which considered all lakes in Antarctica, this review deals only with Antarctic saline lakes. The dividing value between fresh and saline water is here regarded as 3%0 total dissolved salts, a value which follows the convention adopted by Bayly & Williams (1973) but which it is recognised has no fundamental biological reality; biological change in fresh to saline waters follows a continuum (Bayly 1967).
