SUMMARYAnalyses have been made of some of the constituents of the coastal sea water and the river water, and the results have been correlated with the growth phases of some planktonic diatom species and littoral epiphytes, although for most species the sea-water temperature and light intensity were limiting factors.The factor determining the death of an epiphytic diatom community in the littoral zone has been considered to be the air temperature in conjunction with desiccation and a summary of the limiting temperatures for each of the four substrata is given in Table 7. Table 10 is a summary of all the distribution and temperature records. The heat itself is not lethal in many cases but the desiccation of the epiphyte in the littoral zone is accelerated at higher temperatures. Diatoms in damp situations were found to occur at temperatures which in a dry site were limiting, and further work indicating the relationship between relative humidity and lethal temperatures is needed.The ability of a diatom to survive depends upon the water-retaining ability of the substratum. Chalk and large algae favoured the growth of most solitary epiphytes, and filamentous epiphytes grew particularly well on algae except the filamentous Navicula, which were best suited by chalk. The Achnanthes blue-green community was most frequent on wood. Concrete makes a firm substratum and allows rapid growth in winter but it is easily dried and most diatoms on it are destroyed in the summer.Four diatom genera (Fragilaria, Grammatophora, Biddulphia and Melosira) are able to exist in the epiphyte flora and the shore plankton and the term facultative epiphyte is suggested to describe the behaviour of at least some of the species of these genera.

Two types of ice algal assemblages were found in the Gulf of St. Lawrence: assemblages composed predominantly of pennate diatoms (abundance > 98.0%) and assemblages with a high abundance of centric diatoms (abundance > 46.2%). The first type is similar to Arctic landfast ice algal assemblages with the pennate diatoms Nitzschia cylindrus, N. polaris, and Navicula kariana as dominant species. The second type is similar to drifting ice algal assemblages previously described from the Gulf of St. Lawrence, with a percentage of centric diatom species > 46.2% due to the dominance of the planktonic diatom Thalassiosira nordenskioeldii. Species richness and the Shannon-Weaver index of diversity were low; density ranged from 104–106 × cells∙L−1 and was negatively correlated with percent centric diatoms. Results on the structure and the composition of the ice algal assemblages are related to ice type, i.e. landfast and drifting pack ice, and compared with ice algal assemblages from higher latitudes.

Using the TensorFlow Object Detection API, an approach to identifying and registering Baikal diatom species Synedra acus subsp. radians has been tested. As a result, a set of images was formed and training was conducted. It is shown that аfter 15000 training iterations, the total value of the loss function was obtained equal to 0,04. At the same time, the classification accuracy is equal to 95%, and the accuracy of construction of the bounding box is also equal to 95%.

As a result of study of 18 samples, collected in Lake Teletskoye and inflowing rivers in 1992–1995, 34 diatom species of the genus Navicula Bory were found. Among them 21 taxa are new for the studied region, 7 species (Navicula arkona, N. hangaica, N. cf. pseudoreinhardtii, N. ricardae, N. scaniae, N. schweigeri, N. suecicarum) are recorded for the first time in Russia. One new species (N. pseudoharmoniae sp. nov.) is described. It is compared with N. harmoniae and N. digitoconvergens.
