Forty-three species of choanoflagellates were seen during a study of the heterotrophic nanoflagellates in Southampton Water, between 1991 and 1994. The majority of the species were loricate choanoflagellates (Acanthoecidae), and this group accounted for –8% of the total heterotrophic nanoplankton during the period of study. Aloricate choanoflagellates (Codosigidae and Salpingoecidae) were less diverse, and accounted for only 3–4% of the heterotrophic nanoplankton. The seasonal occurrence of loricate choanoflagellates was studied using light microscope whole mounts, whilst more detailed studies of lorica structure were made using electron microscope whole mounts. Two new species, described in this paper, had a markedly seasonal occurrence and were only recorded during a period of 6–10 weeks each spring.
