Seasonal Variation in Phytoplankton Diversity in River Sai at Unnao District of U.P.
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Botany
Abstract
River Sai is a lotic waterbody and tributary of river Gomati. The seasonal variation of phytoplankton diversity were studied for a period of one year. The seasonal variation of phytoplankton density and diversity were studied for a period of one year. In the present study total 20 genera of phytoplankton was observed between the study period. Out of 22 genera, 9 genera belonging to Chlorophyceae, 6 to Bascillariophyceae, 3 to Cyanophyceae and 2 Euglenophyceae. The annual density shows that Chlorophyceae dominates and constituted 52.06% of the total phytoplankton population was followed by Bascillariophyceae (27.25%), Cyanophyceae (16.11%) and Euglenophyceae (4.57%). However, the overall phytoplankton was found maximum in summer, medium in winter and lowest in monsoon season.
