Abstract
The present paper deals with the collection and identification of Diatoms (Bacillariophyceae) of three estuaries at Dakshina Kannada district, (Karnataka). The studies were carried out for a period of one year extending between November 1994 to December 1995. A total of 33 taxa belonging to 24 genera were recorded from three different estuaries. The highest number of diatom taxa were recorded from H1 & G1 estuaries and the most common diatom genera observed at all the stations were Coscinodiscus sp., and Cheatoceros sp.,. The various ecological parameters analysed are discussed.
