A total of 122 species and varieties of algae of 5 divisions was found in epiphyton in the river. Their ecological and geographic characteristics, as well as seasonal succession of their species composition were investigated. The structure of algae communities was studied in the sections of the river differing in the degree of their salinity. %8 2006-01-27
