Abstract
The results of long-term studies of the species structure of microalgae plankton of the coast of the Sea of Okhotsk of Sakhalin Island were summarized. There were 227 species and 4 intraspecific taxa attributed to 8 divisions. The greatest number of species was represented by the divisions Bacillariophyta (112 species and 3 intraspecific taxa) and Dinophyta (96 and 1 respectively). For the first time 5 diatom, 4 dinoflagellate, and 1 euglenophyte species were recorded for the Sea of Okhotsk.
