Description

In this study, planktonic diatoms were sampled in Sinfong mangrove forest in Hsinchu County. A total of 65 genera and 136 species of diatoms were identified, among which 15 species of Nitzschia were the most diverse.

Sampling Methods

During the sampling period, 500ml of water samples were collected from each sampling points and taken back to the laboratory for observation and identification.

Study Extent The two sampling points were St1 and St2. St1 was located within the mangrove forest and St2 was located by the riverbank of Sinfong River on the edge of the mangrove forest. Both sampling points were tidal sections.
Quality Control For diatom identification, a number of manuals were used (Taylor et al. 2007, Wu et al. 2011). Valid diatom taxon names were according to Guiry and Guiry (2022).

Method step description:

  1. Samples were collected from habitat.
  2. The samples were acid-wash treatment for identification.
  3. Photograph the samples with an electron microscope.
