Abstract

A study of diatoms species composition, associated with four ponds in Zaria, Northern Nigeria was carried out between November 2005–January 2006 and June–August 2006. Twenty three taxa of diatoms were recorded in the study. Multivariate analysis showed that there were significant positive and negative relationships (P < 0.05) between some physicochemical parameters and diatom species in these ponds. CCA results showed that Synedra and Actinocyclus were closely associated with TDS, DO and water hardness; Nitzschia, Frustulia, Navicula and Coscinodiscus with NO-N and alkalinity; and Cyclotella , Tabellaria and Achnanthes with phosphate phosphorus 3 levels.

尼日利亚北部扎里亚季节池塘硅藻记录及理化参数

在2005年11月至2006年1月和2006年6月至8月期间，对尼日利亚北部Zaria的四个池塘进行了一项硅藻物种组成的研究。本研究共记录了23个硅藻分类群。多因素分析表明，部分理化参数与水塘硅藻种类呈显著正、负相关(P < 0.05)。CCA结果表明，Synedra和放线素环菌与TDS、DO和水硬度密切相关;NO-N和碱度对nitschia、Frustulia、Navicula和cosciinodiscus的影响;Cyclotella、Tabellaria和Achnanthes的磷磷3水平。
