Pinnularia canadodivergens is a freshwater diatom (class Bacillariophyceae) characterized by its elongate, boat-shaped silica frustule with distinctive diverging striae patterns. It inhabits acidic to neutral freshwater habitats including lakes, ponds, and slow-moving streams. As a pennate diatom, it contributes to aquatic primary production and serves as a bioindicator of water quality.
