. The axial area is very narrow, and the central area is small, formed by the densely spaced striae on each side that are almost indistinguishable. The frustule is club-shaped, thickened, and flexed (bent) in the girdle view. The raphe is filiform on the concave valve with well-defined proximal and distal endings, and the distal raphe is small and rounded. The striae are densely spaced at the centre, becoming parallel at the head and foot poles. Striae are radial throughout, becoming strongly radial at the apices. The single stigmata are small and round with a slit-like internal opening. Pseudospeta can clearly be seen, associated with each pole (

Moreover, the analysed physicochemical characteristics of the Walayar Dam water revealed that water temperature ranged from 24.76 to 25.21°C. The pH and salinity values ranged between 8.02 and 8.22, and between 1.28 and 2.61 ppt, respectively. The observed electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and total dissolved solids values ranged from 295.02 to 301.82 µS cm 1,

, diatoms are extremely sensitive to environmental changes, which reflect the variations in the physical and chemical characteristics of the water. The population density of diatoms is also influenced by the water temperature, light penetration, a high level of organic nutrients, toxic compounds, the mixing of sewage water, parasites, herbivores, and heterotrophic microbe activities (

). Consequently, examining the water quality parameters of water ecosystems is crucial. In the present study, the analysed physicochemical characteristics such as pH, salinity, total dissolved solids, and electrical conductivity indicate that the Walayar Dam is moderately polluted. The present results underscore the need for continued research into diatom taxonomy, habitat and diversity in the least-explored geographical regions on Earth.
