Analysis of Marine Plankton Diatom Collections Taken from the Canal Zone to California during March, 1933

Winter Phytoplankton Of The Mexican Pacific Ocean

“…La mayoría de ellos se han enfocado a la región de la Corriente de California y zonas de afloramientos costeros (Balech, 1959;Blasco, 1977). Desde el reporte de Cupp (1934), quien estudió muestras superficiales de fitoplancton colectadas entre Panamá y California, no se han publicado trabajos sobre la distribución del fitoplancton en esta zona del Océano Pa-Phytoplankton distribution data from PaciBc waters off Mexico are very scarce. Most data are from the California Current region and coastal upwelling areas (Balech, 1959;Blasco, 1977).…”

“…Most data are from the California Current region and coastal upwelling areas (Balech, 1959;Blasco, 1977). Since Cupp (1934) who studied surface phytoplankton samples collected from Panama to California, there have been no reports on the phytoplankton distribution' in this area. The purpose of our study is to describe the distribution and abundarme of the microphytplankton (> 20 Pm) collected Gaxiola Castro G., Nájera de Muñoz S. y Alvarez Borrego S.-Fitoplancton de invierno.…”
