Distribution of Nitzschia austriaca

This sigmoid Nitzschia species was reported several times during the Hungarian surveillance monitoring. Because of the uncertainty of its identification, we reinvestigated those samples where it was indicated as dominant. Based on this, we revealed that Nitzschia austriaca occurs in several Hungarian astatic soda pans additional to its presence in the sodic ponds of Apaj. These pans are the followings: Nagy-Vadas-tó (at the settlement Császárszállás: N 47°51’37.99”; E 21°41’38.52”); Kelemen-szék (Fülöpszállás: N 46°47’36.76”; E 19°10’29.43”); Kolon-tó (Izsák: N 46°46’05.08”; E 19°19’47.78”); Nádas-tó (Sándorfalva: N 46°23’14.59”; E 20°05’44.93”); Büdös-szék (Szabadszállás: N 46°51’51.27”; E 19°10’01.75”); Zab-szék (Szabadszállás: N 46°49’43.02”; E 19°10’38.88”); Böddi-szék(Dunatetétlen: N 46°46’03.64”; E 19°09’03.86”); Bába-szék (Dunatetétlen: N 46°44’23.83”; E 19°09’01.08”); Nagy-Széksóstó (Mórahalom: N 46°12’41.71”; E 19°57’07.23”); Csikóspusztai-tó (Királyhegyes: N 46°17’33.98”; E 20°38’39.12”); Büdös-szék (Pusztaszer: N 46°32’58.53”; E 20°01’45.44”); Kis Sóstó (Csongrád: N 46°44’38.83”; E 19°57’34.57”) ( Fig. 25 ).
