Algal Analysis — Algal
Biovolume Estimation
In
some cases, to better understand the algal community
from a functional or ecological perspective, it will
be desirable to estimate algal biovolume. This information
in conjunction with cell density allows one to understand
if the algal community is dominated by a large number
of small species (high number but low biovolume)
or a smaller number of larger species (low number
but high biovolume).
Cell
biovolumes will be calculated by measuring length,
width and depth of 10-15 cells (if possible; more
if necessary depending on variability of species)
and applying the volumetric formula for the geometric
shape or shapes that best fits.
