Abstract
Radiolaria are very rare in the Bohai Sea and the Huanghai Sea and occur mostly in the estern part of the East China Sea. Polycystine is the most abundant, and phaeodaria is rare. Acantharia and Sticholonchea, recently considered as two independent classes, are also abundant. Previous works dealing with the seasonal abundance and geographical distribution of Radiolaria in the East China Sea included those of Tchang and Tan (1964a, b), Tan et al. (1978), Tan and Tchang (1976) and Tan and Su (1982). Based on previous works plus some additional data, this paper attempts to provide a comprehensive ecological information of Radiolaria in the East China Sea. Samples were collected form 1958–1961, covering 121°30’– 127°E, 26°15’–32°15’N. This was the first study of this nature in the area.
