Abstract

Phytoplanktonic diversity and abundance of hill stream Chandrabhaga have been monitored for the present study from October 2000 to September 2001. A total of 31 genera of phytoplankton belonging to the families Bacillario- phyceae, Chlorophyceae and Cyanophyceae were identified. These comprised of diatoms (95 % ), green algae (2.8% ), blue green algae (1. 6 %) and miscellaneous (0. 8 % ). The diversity of phytoplankton was found to be maximum during winter and minimum in monsoon. The study revealed that water current, water temperature and turbidity influenced the diversity of phytoplankton. (Life Science Journal. 2007; 4 (1) : 80 - 84) (ISSN: 1097- 8135) .
