Data obtained from the long-term study of the phytoplankton species composition in the Paris Bay (northeastern part of the Russky Island) are presented for the first time. A total of 246 species and subspecies belonging to seven phyla were identified. In terms of species richness, diatoms dominated (1ras1 taxa); followed by dinoflagellates (79 taxa); ochrophytes (5 taxa); cryptophytes, raphidophytes and euglenozoans (3 taxa each); and chlorophytes (2 taxa). A taxonomic revision of the microalgal flora was carried out, and an annotated list of species was compiled, including data on the relative abundance of each taxon by month.
