The research is devoted to the microplankton from the southwestern part of the Barents Sea, which is under the influence of the central branch of the North Cape Current. The main patterns of distribution for individual species and general parameters of microplankton abundance in June 2019 were revealed. The key biological parameters such as the taxonomic composition of microplankton, level of total biomass and biomass of individual groups, characteristic species and species complexes were described for the water masses of the investigated area during the study.
