Abstract
The hydrography and seasonal changes in the standing stock of diatoms and dinoflagellates were studied in 9 stations located in Southern Aegean Sea. The logarithms of the measurements of each stock in each station were subjected to analysis of variance with the factors βstationβ and βseasonβ. The results suggested a uniform distribution of phytoplankton at all stations within every season. On the other hand there was a significant effect of season upon phytoplankton growth. The annual temperature range (14.2 dΜCβ25.6 dΜC) and the phytoplankton cycle (maxima in spring and autumn) provided evidence of the temperate character of this area.
