Abstract

Chrysophytes are important organisms of the freshwater ecosystems. We investigated species composition by mean of electron and light microscopy of monthly samples collected in Tuyen Lam Reservoir, Lam Dong Province, Viet Nam in 2014. Among the fifteen taxa of silica-scaled chrysophytes five are new records for Viet Nam.
