Distribution of aquatic macrophytes in the coastal area of Salimpur, Chittagong, Bangladesh.

This preliminary study was conducted to investigate the distribution pattern of the aquatic macrophytes in the inter-tidal coastal belt of Salimpur, Chittagong. During this study, 3 species of mangrove, i.e., Sonaratia apetala, Avicennia marina and Acanthus ilicifolius, 1 species of wild rice relat...
