Establishment of Herbarium (Stock collection) of the Algae of the Southern part of the Caspian Sea
The algal herbarium was set up and put into operation officially since 22 August 1993 at the Ghazian research station of the Gilan Fisheries Center. Several samplings were carried out from different regions of the Anzali Lagoon and Parts of the Southern shores of the Caspian Sea. The Samples Collected are being stored in the Laboratory in Living and non Living form. 163 Living samples of 23 phytoplankton species are stored in the form of different types of inoculants liquid media and agar Plates. The species collected are as follows: Nodularia sp1, Nodularia sp2, Spirulina sp. Oscillatoria sp., Anabaena sp1,Anabaena sp2, Dactylococcopsis raphidiodes Lyngbia sp., Ankistrodesmus falacatus, Ankistrodesmus sp., Scenedesmus abundans S. acuminatus, S. obliquus, S. quadricada, Chlorella vulgaris Thalassionema nitzschioides, Cyclotella sp., Rhizosolenia calcar avis, Navicula sp., Bacillaria sp. Pure cultures of seven phytoplankton species have been developed which include: Scenedesmus abundans, S.obliquus, S. acuminatus, S. quadricada, Chlorella vulgaris, Spirulina sp.and Ankistrodesmus falacatus. The non Living sampeles are stored dried or fixed in suitable Preservatives. More than 200 phytoplankton specimens are available in the Laboratory at present, of which 100 species have been identified.
