Diatom Assemblage in the Lake of Gaberoun, Southern Libya

Abstract

The lake of Gaberoun in the southern district of Libya was studied to assess the diatom community composition in the littoral zone. Planktic and attached diatoms were listed and information on the constituent species made known (images are shown). Some criteria of the water characteristics are also given such as the pH, which is an average of 8.3, electrical conductivity which accounted for 1.4 µSim/cm1- and total dissolved salts (TDS) of 189.0mg/L1-
