Abstract

The results of the study of freshwater algae communities in some watercourses located in the middle course of the Zeya River basin are presented. The annotated list of algae includes 245 taxa belonging to 232 species from 65 genera of Bacillariophyta. The characteristics of the algal flora in terms of habitats, relation to water salinity, saprobity of algae and their geographical distribution are given. Among the most interesting and rare species with a limited distribution ranges, there are Brebissonia boeckii, Cymbella amplificata, Cymbopleura stauroneiformis, Gomphonema angusticephalum, and Tetracyclus glans.
