Abstract

Morphological variability of Stephanodiscus minutulus (Kützing) Cleve et Möller from Lake Dal’nee (Kamchatka, Russia) was studied. Slightly and strongly silicified morphotypes with valves elevated or depressed in the center area were shown. On the basis of the obtained data, a taxonomical place of small-celled Stephanodiscus from other Kamchatka waterbodies was specified.
