Identification and cell counts of dominant phytoplankton species (1 cells ml(-1)) collected at Kure Marine Station, Hiroshima University and Niko River Station in Kure Port were carried out from April, 1989 to January, 1990. At Kure Marine Station, the maximum total cell number of the dominant species was observed from the last ten days of July to the middle ten days of August. The dominant marine species included 29 diatoms, 5 dinoflagellates and 3 chrysophytes at Kure Marine Station. On the other hand, at Niko River Station, riverine phytoplankton were often predominant, particularly around the ebb tide. These observed results suggested that the distribution of the riverine phytoplankton did not extend to the neighboring Kure Marine Station, where the same dominant marine phytoplankton species were also distributed as in the Niko River Station
