Abstract
23Nov 2016 STUDIES ON PHYTOPLANKTON RELATED DIVERSITY INDEX OF WESTERN RAMGANGA RIVER ALMORA UTTARAKHAND, INDIA. Anupama Pandey. Department of Zoology, R. H. Govt. P.G. College Kashipur, (U.K.) INDIA.
Highlights
Phytoplankton are ubiquitous and found in every type of water ecosystem, whether it is a stream, pond, lake or river.Phytoplankton plays an important role in the study of the floral biodiversity of aquatic ecosystems
Material And Methods:The Western Ramganga River originated in the southern slopes of the Lesser Himalaya, Dudhatoli (3,110 amsl) ranges in the district of PauriGarhwal, Uttrakhand state of India
Conclusion:this study provides clear information about plankton diversity and species composition, which is the most important biological data for the assessment of river water quality
Summary
Phytoplankton are ubiquitous and found in every type of water ecosystem, whether it is a stream, pond, lake or river.Phytoplankton plays an important role in the study of the floral biodiversity of aquatic ecosystems. The diversity of phytoplankton population and factors that control their growth and biodiversity were investigated. The phytoplankton densities were studied from one year of the study period (i.e. Jan., 2012 to Dec., 2012) at three sampling sites. On the basis of observed phytoplankton densities, mean Shannon-Weiner diversity index of all three sites was computed.
