Diatom, Limnological, phytoplanktonAbstract
The paper deals with the diatoms of shrimp Ponds in Khulna. It includes description and illustration of 30 species of diatom belonging to 13 genera namely Amphora, Synedra, Coccones, Cymbella, Fragilaria, Gomphonema, Gyrosigma, Melosira, Navicula, Nitzschia, Pinularia, Surrella and Caloneis based on one year investigation. Taxonomy of unidentified species was not included but they are considered in periodicity and seasonal distribution. Irregular pulses of diatom were recorded in both the ponds and none of the genera were present round the year.
