These bands a r e caused by l a r g e numbers of diatoms, and t r a c e amounts of dinofl agel l a t e s , green f l a g e l l a t e s and chrysophytes growing on o r trapped within t h e i c e . Al though t h e ecologlcal importance of t h i s i c e microalgal f l o r a i s not well known, i t s prirnary production appears t o be s u b s t a n t i a l . I t may provide an important source of energy f o r both p l a n k t o n i c and benthic animal populations. The composition of a r c t i c i c e f l o r a was r e p o r t e d by Cleve and Grunow (1880) from Kara Sea, Cleve (1883) from Cape Wankarema, Grunow (1884) from Barent Sea, Oestrup (1895) from e a s t c o a s t of Greenland, Cleve (1884, 1898, 1899, 1900) from Discovery Bay, Franz Josef Land, Sptizbergen and north of Jan Mayen, Gran (1900) from t h e A r c t i c Ocean, and Usachev (1938, 1949) from t h e n o r t h pole. drifting ice-floes. Al1 of t h i s information was obtained from Al though Apol l o n i o (1961, 1965) and Meguro e t a l . (1966, 1967) used SIPRE i c e corer t o t a k e samples from sol i d , unbroken sea i c e f o r chlorophyll c o n t e n t , they did not q u a n t i t a t i v e l y examine sampl e s f o r s p e c i e s composition. Recently, Alexander e t a l . (1974) s t u d i e d standing s t o c k of the i c e community a t Barrow, Alaska. The purpose of t h i s r e p o r t i s t o i n v e s t i g a t e and t o compare two sampling techniques f o r q u a n t i t a t i v e and q u a l i t a t i v e s p e c i e s composition, v e r t i c a l d i s t r i b u t i o n and standing s t o c k of t h e sea i c e microalgae from Ecl i p s e Sound. PIETHODS The sea i c e microalgal d a t a presented here were derived from 16 c o l l e c t i o n s made by Mr. Hermann A . R. S t e l t n e r of S t e l t n e r Development and Manufacturing Company, Ltd., Pond I n l e t , N.W.T. Biological S t a t i o n . f o r the Arctic The sea i c e f l o r a samples were c o l l e c t e d with a 7 . 5 cm diameter SIPRE i c e c o r e r from the top t o t h e bottom of t h e sea i c e a t S t a t i o n s 1, 2 , 3 and 4 in Eclipse Sound during May 1976 ( F i g , 1 ) . The length of i c e core was measured, and 1 cm s e c t i o n s were c u t from t h e top, middle and bottom with a f i n e toothed meat saw. In o r d e r t o compare q u a n t i t a t i v e and qua1 it a t i v e composition of sea i c e microalgae, both a SIPRE and an ABS i c e corer were employed in March 1977 a t S t a t i o n 1 only. The ABS ice corer has t h e same b a s i c design as t h e SIPRE i c e c o r e r , b u t i s only 20 cm long and has 2 very f i n e (20) mesh s t a i n l e s s s t e e l screen windows ( 2 . 5 cm X 1.3 cm) a t t h e end of i t s b a r r e l . The samples were taken by SCUBA divers from underneath t h e sea i c e . Al1 t h e s e samples were brought t o t h e s u r f a c e . Ten cm s e c t i o n s were c u t from t h e bottom of t h e i c e core and placed i n clean p l a s t i c containers, and then thawed in t h e laboratory a t room temperature. They were immediately preserved with concentrated formaldehyde n e u t r a l i z e d with calcium carbonate a t a f i n a l concentration of 2%. The preserved sea i c e f l o r a samples were q u a n t i t a t i v e l y and q u a l i t a t i v e l y analyzed f o r s p e c i e s composition and standing stock. The techniques t o prepare permanent s l i d e s of cleaned diatoms f o r species i d e n t i f i c a t i o n were described by Foy and Hsiao (1976).
