Abstract

This pioneering project was conducted to study the sea ice microalgae community collected along the coast of Russky Island, which is located in the Peter the Great Bay, Sea of Japan. We examined the sea ice microalgae species composition and its quantitative characteristics. Eighty-eight microalga taxa assigned to 50 genera and 7 divisions have been identified. The greatest species diversity was noted for algae of the Bacillariophyta where it reached 57 to 99% of the total assemblage. The most abundant taxa were planktonic, marine, mainly ice-neritic diatoms: Chaetoceros socialis f. radians, Detonula confervacea, Entomoneis gigantea var. decussata, Navicula granii, N. septentrionalis, Nitzschia frigida, Thalassiosira gravida and T. nordenskioeldii. The total number of microalgae collected in 2020 from ice horizons in Novik Bay varied from 23.8 to 68.6 cells/mL, while in Voevoda Bay it ranged from 21.1 to 1296.2 cells/mL. In samples collected in 2021, the number of microalgae in Novik Bay changed from 1160.9 to 3296.9 cells/mL, and in Voevoda Bay it varied from 32.3 to 1607.5 cells/mL. The quantitative characteristics of the ice algal flora in the two areas of our study, Novik Bay and Voevoda Bay, were found to differ depending on the year of study, water area, and ice core layer.
