Notes:
Fairly common in wet terrestrial mosses and a small river (pH 7,8 and spec. conductance 178µS/cm), sampled near the Baie Lapérouse. Almost absent in soils.Probably the first record in the entire (Sub-)Antarctic Region. Records exist for var. dissipata (Kerguelen, Antarctic Continent & South Shetland Islands).
Other sites with Nitzschia dissipata var. media
- Ile de la Possession (moist habitats), Crozet Archipelago
