摘      要：As an important component of microzooplankton,ciliates play a key role in matter cycling and energy fow in marine planktonic *** of planktonic ciliate have been extensive in the South China Sea(SCS)over the last 20 ***,we summarize the recent progress on the diversity and distribution of this group in the *** includes that in:(1)the waters covering the intertidal zone of the northern SCS,most studies have focused on taxonomy,with 71 species collected,identifed,and described(with~40%new species);(2)neritic waters distribution patterns have been examined at a regional scale,with ciliates displaying signifcant spatial variations and seasonal dynamics;(3)in oceanic waters,there has been a focus on ciliate distribution in north,centre,and south regions,where mesoscale physical processes play roles in controlling distributions,and noticeable vertical variations *** generally,some studies examine the infuences of environment variables on ciliates,and indicate that chlorophyll a concentration is commonly positively correlated with ciliates *** addition,some signifcant fndings are summarized,the limitations of past studies are considered,and recommendations are made for future work on planktonic ciliates in SCS.
