Cocconeis californica Grunow ( Figure 47 View Figures 39–59 )

Literature: ( Poulin et al. 1984a, p. 49, figs. 5–11; Riaux-Gobin and Romero 2003, p. 21, figs. 15, 18, 19, pl. 8, figs. 1–8, pl. 9, figs. 1–5, pl. 10; Witkowski et al. 2000, p. 102, pl. 36, figs. 29, 30, pl. 42, figs. 8–15).

Description: Length 17–22 µm, width 12–15 µm, striae 10–11 in 10 µm.

Remarks: Specimens observed were with lower stria density than previously recorded from Potter Cove (Al-Handal and Wulff 2008b, striae 11–16 in 10 µm) or those reported from Kerguelen (12–18 in 10 µm) by Riaux-Gobin and Romero (2003).

Ecology and distribution: Widely distributed marine periphytic species. Rare in Potter Cove.
