review, epipelic, classes, Iraqi waterAbstract
This review aimed to survey some classes of epipelic composition in Iraqi waters. These data were taken from investigations of epipelic in Iraq, covering both freshwater and saline waters in many cities. 266 species of epipelic algae belonging to 133 genera were identified. Bacillariophyta (diatoms) was the predominant taxon (161 species) followed by Chlorophyta (53 species), Cyanophyta (41 species), Euglenophyta (8 species) and Dinophyta (3 species).. This study proposes to present a checklist of epipelic in Iraq, built on the compilation of preceding surveys.
