This study aims to provide an inclusive checklist of phytoplankton species in the Sea of Oman and the Persian Gulf from 1979 to 2019. The phytoplankton species listed in the literature, as well as their current, verified, and approved names, are used in this study. A complete list of phytoplankton species in the Persian Gulf and Sea of Oman is so far missing. Total 1101 phytoplankton taxa were recorded during this period, belonging to 244 genera, which consists of two main groups of diatoms, including 605 species (55%) and dinoflagellates with 477 species (43%), while other phytoplankton with 19 species belong to 14 genera (2%). Among the diatoms in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman, the genus Navicula with 53 species and in the dinoflagellates the genus Protoperidinium with 74 species were predominant of the total species listed, 53 species of phytoplankton have the potential to form harmful algal blooms. This checklist can assist as a basis for a better understanding of the present phytoplankton biodiversity as well as for potential community changes due to invasive taxa.
