Abstract

A total of 290 species and varieties of Bacillariophyta including 32 that were new for the flora of Karelia and 18 that were new for the flora of Russia, have been recorded in phytoplankton in nine rivers of the White Sea basin. The genera Aulacoseira, Pinnularia, Eunotia, and Navicula s. l. are the richest in taxonomy. The maximum species diversity was recorded in the Suma (73), Kolezhma (91), and Chirko-Kem (146) rivers. The following species are the most widespread in the rivers that were under study here: A. ambigua, A. subarctica, A. subborealis, {tiA. tenella}, Asterionella formosa, and Tabellaria flocculosa.
