* Species identified to genera, data used at family level only.
** Values given in this work are proportions of identified specimens only (rather than proportions of all polycystines), for which reason they were used as presence-absence data.
*** Data provided by the author, based on Matul (1989, 1990a, 1990b, 1999).
**** Data provided by S. Tanaka, K. Takahashi and A. Yamaguchi, A., based on results of the project "Comparison of 0-3000 m radiolarian vertical distributions between the Bering Sea and the central subarctic Pacific in June 2003 and July 2004".
***** Data provided by S. Tanaka and K. Takahashi, based on results of the project " Ten year-long temporal flux changes of radiolarians reflecting the environmental conditions in the Bering Sea and the central subarctic Pacific, 1990-2000".
