Abstract
An estimate of the role of endemic diatom algae of Lake Baikal, their contribution to numerical abundance and to biomass, was obtained on the basis of long-term monitoring in the pelagic zone, and in shallow water bays and near the mouths of rivers. Endemic diatoms are distributed over a major part of the lake, except for shallow-water bays. During a major part of the year, they dominate in biomass and in numerical abundance, making a major contribution to the rate of accumulation of modern sediments.
