Volume and surface area calculation

	Shape
Simple shape
K(flattening factor)
More accurate shape	-

Hillebrand et al., 1999 - elliptic prism
(in species which are genuflexed in girdle view, the apical axis can be calculated more precisely, if the length of the two straight parts is summed; - species with a rhombic valve view should be calculated as prisms on a parallelogram; - species with a linear valve view should be calculated as boxes; - some species have great capitate poles, these can be added as cylinders. In this case, the apical axis means the apical length without the capitae) (Hillebrand, H., Dürselen, C. D., Kirschtel, D., Pollingher, D. and Zohary, T. (1999) Biovolume calculation for pelagic and benthic microalgae. J. Phycol., 35, 403–424)
