Abstract
Temporal variations in the physicochemical parameters, density and diversity of intertidal diatom assemblages were investigated from July to December 2020 at two selected stations in the Sipcot Industrial area Lotic water bodies, Cuddalore District, Tamilnadu. The main physical and chemical parameters and the impact of industrial waste water waves which occurred prior to this study period and affected the species composition and currents density were studied. During this investigation, a total of 37 species of intertidal diatoms belonging to 21 genera were recorded from the two stations. A total number of 29 and 23 species were recorded at Station-I and II respecive1y. The result indicated that the distribution of diatoms taxa in the two stations were similar. The genera Frgillaria, Mastogloia, Anomoeneis, Navicula, Diploneis and Pinnularia were found dominant in terms of frequency and density. The physicochemical parameters showed spatial and temporal variations.
