摘要
Species richness of phytoplankton of the Pitchavaram mangals was high. There were 82 species constituted by 67 species of diatoms, 12 species of dinoflagellates and 3 species of bluegreen algae. The diatoms formed the bulk with 72% followed by the dinoflagellates with 15%, in which there were autochthonous (temporary and permanent) and allochthonous forms. Phytoplankton population density exhibited a wide seasonal fluctuation with the minimum during monsoon and the maximum during summer, suggesting the possible differential influence of various environmental factors.
