Abstract/ Executive Summary:

This study presents two species of Rhodomonas, four species of Chroomonas, six species of Cryptomonas and Cryptochrysis minor, Cyanomonas coeruleus, Chrysodidymus synuroideus and Mallomonas akrokomos. These species have been reported from some ponds of Mathbaria in Pirojpur and Bakerganj of Barisal district in Bangladesh.

Start Date: 00-00-2004

End Date: 00-00-2006

Program Area: Resource Development and Management

Commodity: Plankton

Objectives:

The present paper deals with an illustrated account of the species belonging to Cryptophyceae and Synurophyceae.

Methodology:

Samples of phytoplankton were collected in a concentrated form from eight and six permanent stations of Bakerganj and Mathbaria, respectively in between 2004 and 2006 (Khondker et al. 2006). All the investigated water bodies were ponds except one river channel (Station No. 5, Bakerganj). Details of the methodologies have been described in Khondker et al. (2006).
