Spring's Station 5 plankton net tow was
dominated by the long pennate diatom Rhizosolenia. Two species of the
dinoflagellate Ceratium were also present. Diatom chains of Thalassiosira
and Stephanopyxis(?) as well as colonies of Thalssionema (?)
were observed. A few Coscinodiscus (diatom) cells were sampled. Links
to FlowCAM images for Station 5 are at bottom right.
