Abstract:
This work constitutes a first study on the diatoms of Joal-Fadiouth Lagoon (Senegal). It was undertaken to describe, identify and determine the taxonomic composition of these diatoms. Observation of the samples collected between March and June 2013 made it possible to inventory 21 species belonging to 18 genera and divided into 13 families, 11 orders and 3 classes. These 21 species are new for the microflora of Joal-Fadiouth Lagoon.
