Volume and surface area calculation

	Shape
Simple shape	ellipsoid + double ell. cone + trunc. ell. cone
K(flattening factor)	0.5
More accurate shape	ell. cylinder + trunc. ell. cone + ellipsoid + 2 ell. cones

Hillebrand et al., 1999 - ellipsoid + 2 cones + cylinder
(cross section may be elliptic rather than round. In this case the squared diameter of the equation should be replaced by the product of smaller x greater diameter; the genus is quite variable in shape; the general proposal is: to calculate the central cell body as ellipsoid, then add the hypotheacal horns as cones and apical horn as cylinder) (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)
