Notes:
Abstract Collections of macrophytic algae from the subtidal and lower intertidal regions were processed to observe the diatom epiphytes both by light and scanning electron microscopy. For the purpose of comparison some samples of the sub-ice assemblage were also collected and processed similarly. The standing crop of epiphytes was high throughout the winter as well as the summer but the community composition varied depending upon the collection site and the morphology of the host macrophyte. The genus Cocconeis was ubiquitous achieving densities approaching 105 cells cm−2 and surpassed only by Nitzchiawith a density of twice that amount on one sample.
