The effects of long-term preservation on flow cytometric parameters of natural oceanic populations of pico-and nanophytoplankton have been examined. Populations collected at oligotrophic subtropical and subarctic locations in the North Pacific were fixed with glutaraldehyde and frozen in liquid nitrogen, according to Vaulotet al.(1989). During six months’ storage, chlorophyll red fluorescence declined in all the groups examined, while forward light scatter was enhanced inSynechococcusandProchlorococcus, and weakened in nanoeucaryotes. Cell loss was not significant except forSynechococcus. Caution is required when analyzing flow cytometric data of samples stored for more than a month.
