Abstract

Phytoplankton was sampled over 10 months at five stations along the north-eastern coast of Lake Tanganyika. The biomass is composed chiefly of diatoms together with blue-green algae and, occasionally, green algae and Euglenophytes. Seasonal changes in phytoplankton composition and densities are discussed in relation with abiotic factors.
