Twenty-five species of algae were identified: a characteristic group consisting of the species Chlorococcum humicola, (Naeg.), Chlamydom- onas communis, (Snow), Nostoc commune, (Vauch.), Ulothrix- subtilis, (Kutz.), Phormidium autumnale, (Ag.), and Phorm- idium tenue, (Menegh.), were found to predominate. Certain species of algae normally submerged aquatics, were recorded for the first time in Manitoba. A possible correlation between zonal distribution and algal species and texture and algal species was suggested. 2012-06-21T14:38:50Z 2012-06-21T14:38:50Z 1933 http://hdl.handle.net/1993/8071
