Abstract
Distributional patterns of benthic microalgae were studied in the tidal flats of Saemangeum lake, Korea, from March 2007 to October 2009. As benthic microalgae of tidal flats of Saemangeum lake, 44 species belong to 5 classes were identified. Diatoms predominated the benthic microalgal flora with 75.0% of total species occurred. Dominant species were Achnanthes lanceolata, Aulacoseira granulata, Cymbella tumida, Fragilaria construens var. ventor, Melosira varians, Navicula cryptocephala, Navicula cryptocephala var. veneta, Nitzschia palea, and Paralia sulcata. The cell density and biomass of benthic microalgae were highest in 2009, and clear tendency of increment was observed at D1 and D2 sites. In vertical profiles, cell density and biomass of the benthic microalgae showed maximum cells and biomass at 0~1 mm depth of sediments from all sampled sites.
