Description 943-953
During the present study total 120 species of
phytoplankton were identified and which represents different distinct

classes viz: Bacillariophyceae (65), Dinophyceae
(21), Chlorophyceae (25), Cyanophyceae (6), Chrysophyceae (1), Dictyophyceae
(1) and Zygnematophyceae (1). Diatom formed the most dominant group. The
average number of total phytoplankton density varied from 484600 cells L-1 to 678600 cells
L-1.
Maximum density was found during post monsoon season coinciding with the stable
hydrographical conditions. Change in phytoplankton density and species
diversity in different seasons was found to be significant by varying water
characteristics.
