This review analyzes the current state of knowledge of the microphytobenthos in the Russian waters of the Sea of Japan and adjacent sea areas. A retrospective analysis of the literature shows that microphytobenthos, with its primary production that often exceeds the production of phytoplankton, plays an important role in coastal marine ecosystems. Benthic diatoms in the coastal waters of Peter the Great Bay (Sea of Japan), which are the primary food object for many marine invertebrates and mammals, are also used as important indicators of the state of the aquatic environment. Despite the great number of publications on the region, knowledge of the microphytobenthos in taxonomic and ecological-floristic aspects is still insufficient.
