These dinoflagellates were observed in samples collected in the Bering Sea during March-May 2008, heavy sea ice conditions
Dinophysis sp. collected at 59.9oN 171.26oW, 2 m depth, enriched with ice algae, bottom depth 74 m Dinophysis sp. top view, collected at 59.9oN 171.26oW, 2 m depth, enriched with ice algae, bottom depth 74 m
Protoperidinum sp. collected at 62.0oN 171.2oW, 14 m depth, mid-shelf heavy ice cover, chl-a = 0.8 ug/l

Gymnodinium dinoflagellate distended with ingested centric diatom collected at 59.2oN 175.9oW, 20 m depth, open water ice edge bloom, chl-a = 6.4 ug/l

Gyrodinium dinoflagellate distended with ingested short diatom chain collected at 59.2oN 175.9oW, 20 m depth, open water ice edge bloom, chl-a = 6.4 ug/l
Two views of the same gyrodinium dinoflagellate grossly distended with ingested long diatom chain collected at 59.2oN 175.9oW, 20 m depth, open water ice edge bloom, chl-a = 6.4 ug/l
Gyrodinium dinoflagellate distended with ingested pennate diatom, in sample with added sea ice algae, collected at 57.9oN 169.2oW. Gyrodinium dinoflagellate with no obvious ingested prey, in sample with added sea ice algae, collected at 57.9oN 169.2oW.
