SYNONYM(S): Fragilaria ulna var. goulardi (Bréb.) Lange-Bert. 1980
GENUS CONSIDERED: Ulnaria
Contributor: Ian Bishop - November 2015
Length Range: 33-119 µm
Width Range: 8.5-10.5 at center; 8.6-12.4 at maximum µm
Striae in 10 µm: 9-12
Valves are linear-lanceolate with a distinctly constricted mid-valve. The apices are rostrate to subcapitate, and apiculate. The axial area is linear and very narrow. The central area is large, circular, and sometimes asymmetric. Smaller specimens may have short marginal striae in the center valve. Striae are parallel, becoming slightly radiate at the apices. Ghost striae are present in the central area, although they are more visible in larger specimens. Each valve has two rimoportula, with a rimoportula positioned at each apex.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) western Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP) study was completed during the years 2000-2004 (see citations at bottom of this page). Over 1200 streams and rivers in 12 western states (Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming) were selected for sampling based on a stratified randomized design. This type of design insures that ecological resources are sampled in proportion to their actual geographical presence. Stratified randomized design also allows for estimates of stream length with a known confidence in several “condition classes” (good or least-disturbed, intermediately-disturbed, and poor or most-disturbed) for biotic condition, chemistry and habitat.
