Enumeration of marine bacteria was carried out at Point Barrow weekly during 4 months when the Chukchi Sea was covered with ice and on several occasions when there was no ice cover. Counts were low except for a brief period during the summer. Generally, the counts on a sample were the same on either fresh‐ or saltwater media, suggesting that many of the bacteria were of terrestrial origin.
