Abstract

Diatoms isolated from the viscera of some shrimps and fish and from gill rakers of fish of different sizes are investigated. A linear correlation, but not statistically significant was established for the number of diatoms and the volume of viscerae contents of the fish. More species of diatoms were found in the viscera of shrimps and benthic fish than in those rom pelogic habitats.
