Organism losses during ice melting: a serious bias in sea ice community studies

When ice samples are melted, microorganisms living within the brine inclusions are subjected to rapid and extreme changes in salinities. This procedure results in substantial losses of flagellates and ciliates. Most of these losses can be prevented if ice samples are melted in larger volumes of ster...
