Survey Data of Diatoms in Sinfong Mangrove

Study Extent

The two sampling points were St1 and St2. St1 was located within the mangrove forest and St2 was located by the riverbank of Sinfong River on the edge of the mangrove forest. Both sampling points were tidal sections.

Sampling

During the sampling period, 500ml of water samples were collected from each sampling points and taken back to the laboratory for observation and identification.

Quality Control

For diatom identification, a number of manuals were used (Taylor et al. 2007, Wu et al. 2011). Valid diatom taxon names were according to Guiry and Guiry (2022).

Method steps

1. Samples were collected from habitat.
2. The samples were acid-wash treatment for identification.
3. Photograph the samples with an electron microscope.

Sinfong mangrove forest is located along the southern and northern riverbank of Sinfong River, Sinfong Township, Hsinchu County. It has an area of approximately 4.3 ha. In 2017, the Urban and Rural Development Branch, Construction and Planning Agency, Ministry of the Interior, announced the national status of the Sinfong Important Wetland, which mainly encompassed Sinfong mangrove forest within the Sinfong River basin.
