A total of 116 taxa were identified, among which 72 taxa of diatoms, 16 dinoflagellates, 14 chlorphytes, 11 cyanophytes, two euglenophytes and one silicoflagellate species. Bitter Lakes were more diversified than Temsah Lake, although the highest population density was recorded at Temsah Lake. A total of 108 taxa were identified in Bitter Lakes among which 68 taxa of diatoms, 15 dinoflagellates, 11 chlorophytes, 11 cyanophytes two euglenophytes and one silicoflagellate species, while 102 taxa were identified among which 60 taxa of diatoms, 14 dinoflagellates, 14 chlorophytes, 11 cyanophytes,... |
