Abstract: | A survey of the freshwater algal flora of the Primorsky Region, Russian Far East, is presented. During more than 70 years
of investigations 1659 species (including varieties and forms 2276 taxa) belonging to 346 genera of different groups of algae
have been recorded from this territory. The Primorsky Region is rich in habitats attractive to algae-rivers, lakes, reservoirs,
and ponds. The details of the distribution of algae in different types of waterbodies have been examined. The algal flora
of the region is comparable to the areas, and its taxonomical structure is typical for Eurasia. From this territory some new
species and varieties have been described — Achnanthes chankensis, Cymbella ventricosa var. hankensis, Surirella alisoviana, and others. The flora includes some rare species — Fragilaria magocsyi, Perone dimorpha, and Heterothrix monochloron, and some endemics of Asia — Navicula scutelloides var. baicalensis, N. globulifera var. nipponica, Gomphonema sphaerophorum, and Surirella tientsinensis. |
