Plankton is a fundamental part of the waters, especially in coral reef ecosystems. This study aims to determine abundance and diversity plankton species, both phytoplankton, zooplankton waters Gosong Island, Southwest Aceh. research was conducted May 2021. Samples were collected from 4 sampling points with replications. Phytoplankton consists 51 species which are 3 families, namely Cyanophyceae...

This paper provides the results of a taxonomic survey of the Cyanophyceae/Cyanobacteria in a frenge red mangrove forest in the estuaries of Estreito dos Mosquitos and Coqueiros, São Luís, State of Maranhão, Brazil. A total of 15 taxa were identified in 8 families, as follows: Synechoccaceae (2), Chroococcaceae (1), Hyellaceae (1), Xenococcaceae (1), Oscillatoriaceae (1), Scytonemataceae (2), Ph...

Periphyton was cultured and its phytoplankton communities were identified based on morphological features. This included 24 genera belonging to the 6 classes. Highest number of genera was found in Bacillariophyceae followed by Cyanophyceae and Chlorophyceae. Whereas a single genus was documented from class Euglenophyceae, Ulvophyceae and Xanthophyceae. Hence, the study is quite handy for the id...

After in situ incubation at the site for a year, phytoplanktons in surface water were exposed to natural light in temperate lakes (every month); thereafter, the net production rate of photoprotective compounds (mycosporine-like amino acids, MAAs) was calculated using (13)C labeled tracer. This is the first report describing seasonal variation in the net production rate of individual MAAs in tem...

Periphyton from rice-fish environment of Apatani Plateau, Arunachal Pradesh, India was studied for diversity and productivity (Chlorophylla and biomass) on artificial (glass slide) and natural (rice stem) substrates. Periphyton from rice stems, especially, from cultivars locally known as ‘Amo’ were collected from a depth of 7.0-8.0 cm from surface water and 5.0 cm above from the field bottom. G...
