ABSTRACT

When studying phytoplankton of Peter the Great Bay (East Sea / Sea of Japan), two species from the genus Pyramimonas - P. aff. Cordata McFadden, Hill et Wetherbee and P. aurita Daugbjerg et Moestrup, new for the Far Eastern seas of Russia, were revealed. Peculiarities in morphology of their submicroscopic superficial squamules were examined by the method of “shadow-cast electron microscopy”. Morphological descriptions of the mentioned species obtained by the data of light and electron microscopy and also original microphotographs are presented.
