The species and characteristics of Radiolaria in the surface sediments were systematcally investigated in the sea east of Taiwan Island.One hundred and seventy-eight species of Radiolaria(including 21 unidentified species) have been identified in the surface sediments,and they belong to 2 orders,34 families and 101 genera.Among them there are 19 families,70 genera,134 species of Spumellaria and 15 families,31 genera,44 species of Nassellaria.Of the 178 species of Radiolaria,the individual number of Spumellaria amounts to 88.1% of the total individual number,and that of Nassellaria amounts to 11.9% of the total individual number.It is shown that most of the dominant species belong to the tropical and subtropical dominant species and are brought into the area mainly by the Kuroshio,and some affecting factors including the submarine topography,submarine sediments,upwelling current east of Taiwan Island and carbonate dissolution play a secondary role in forming the Radiolaria distributions.
