Abstract

This preliminary study explored the diversity and seasonal pattern of Hydrodictyaceae members found at Kothandaramar Temple Tank, Chennai, South India. It is one of the largest freshwater temple tanks of Chennai. The members of this family typically take on twisted, triangular, quadrangular, or polygonal forms. Cell angles, whether they have spines or not, are straightforward. The diversity of the 27 phycofloral species were identified and classified.
