Each phytoplankton group is considered here as a class,is described and illustrated, then subdivided into orders and families.Primary emphasis is placed on the genera,475 in total; for each of them,information is provided on: authorship, etymology, type-species,synonymy, references, diagnosis, affinities, and ecology. The atlas isnot a manual of identification for these 6000 world species but ratherit indicates, for each genus, the number of species and themorphological criteria used for identification. Each genus isillustrated by drawings and by optic or electron microphotographs.Identification keys aid in the location of taxonomical levels.
