| Abstract |
The paper presents a list of tintinnid species (Tintinnina Kofoid et Campbell, 1929) in the Barents Sea according to records from the XX through the XXI century. The research also includes original data (2012-2017), which allowed identifying three new tintinnid species in recent years: Ormosella hackeli Kofoid et Campbell, 1929, Parundella caudata (Ostenfeld, 1899) Jörgensen, 1924, and Amphorellopsis tetragona (Jörgensen, 1924) Kofoid et Campbell, 1929. These three alien species of marine ciliates belong to the warm-water fauna; they were recorded in the western part of the Barents Sea and are inhered to the North Cape Current. The research includes a brief biogeographic characteristic and photographic material of alien tintinnids in the Barents Sea. |
