The vertical distribution of radiolarians was investigated by using a closing-type net with 63 μm mesh in the Okhotsk Sea (Station NU'2, near Bussol' Strait) down to 1000 m depth and in the northwestern North Pacific (Oyashio region, Station X) down to

We examined biogenic silica production and elementary composition (biogenic Si, particulate organic carbon and particulate organic nitrogen) of Rhizaria and diatoms in the upper 200 m along a transect in the Southwest Pacific sector of the Southern Ocean

Rhizaria are large protistan cells that have been shown to be a major component of the planktic community in the oceans and contribute significantly to major biogeochemical cycles such as carbon or silicon. However, unlike for many other protists, limited
