Abstract
Off Westland in February 1982, ciliated protozoans were numerically most abundant and accounted for >95% of the microzooplankton assemblage. Naked oligotrichs dominated these ciliated protozoans, particularly in offshore waters, where phytoflagellates were most abundant. Tinlinnids were relatively more abundant inshore. Stenosomella nivalis, a tintinnid with silica‐encrusted bowl, dominated an upwelling station close to Wanganui Bluff.Keywords
