Abstract
To understand the temporal variation of phytoplankton community in the Antarctic coastal ecosystem, physicochemical parameters, chlorophyll a, and primary productivity were measured as a component of the 7th KARP (Korea Antarctic Research Program) in 1994. Data were collected every month between February and December except four months (June-September) when the study area was frozen. Chlorophyll a concentrations ranged from negligible to 3.03 , averaging 0.63 . The primary productivity ranged 0.53-18.95 mg C/, and the depth-integrated primary productivity ranged 41.28-560.20 mg C/. A positive relationship was observed between the phytoplankton biomass and irradiance (=0.29, p =0.85, p
