important biogeochemical region on a global scale, in which
mineralising phytoplankton play a role in cycling energy, carbon
and nutrients. Mineralising phytoplankton with cells 2–20 μm in
diameter (nannoplankton) are poorly enumerated by traditional
preservation and microscopy techniques, yet may fulfil an
important role in the Southern Ocean. Here we define the spatial
and temporal biogeography for these mineralising nannoplankton
assessed by scanning electron microscopy in conjun
