Abstract:
Despite the diversity of estuaries and lagoons and the importance of mangroves in Senegal, microphytes (cyanophytes and microalgae) have not yet been studied there. The objective of this study is to describe and identify the cyanophytes of the Joal-Fadiouth Lagoon and to determine their taxonomic composition. The samples were collected between March and June 2013. The results show that 12 species of cyanophytes belonging to 10 genera and distributed into 7 families, 3 orders and one class were inventoried. These 12 species are new for the microflora of the Joal-Fadiouth Lagoon.
Keywords:
Cyanophytes; Taxonomic composition; Joal-Fadiouth; Lagoon; Senegal.
