Abstract

In this study, marine microalgal communities in 12 islands belonging to the sea water region of Truong Sa Islands (Spratly Islands), Vietnam in May-June and October-November 2021 was studied. There were 305 species of marine microalgae belonging to 7 phyla were identified in 12 islands in this sea water region of Truong Sa Islands (Spratly Islands) in 2021 in which with 39 dominant species, highest species number of 147 in Central (London) Reef (D1) and the lowest species number of 15 in Ambonya Cay (D4) were detected. Up to 2021, in the sea water region of the Truong Sa Islands (Spratly Islands), 14 genera of toxic harmful algae have appeared. The average value of biodiversity index (H') and the diversity value index (Dv) in all 12 studied islands in the Truong Sa Islands (Spratly Islands) in 2021 is 3.61±0.40 and 3.43±0.39, respectively, showing that the diversity of marine microalgae of this sea water region is rich and the quality of its sea water is generally good. It has been determined that two main factors NO3- and oil content, followed by DO, salinity, temperature and Hg content in seawater were affected the density of marine microalgal cells in the sea water of Truong Sa Islands (Spratly Islands) in 2021. In which, the marine microalgal cell density has a negative correlation with temperature, salinity, NO3- and Hg content of seawater and has a positive correlation with DO parameter was discovered.
