Yogendra Kumar Payasi

Abstract :

 Present work was carried out to investigate the diversity and distribution of phytoplankton in the River Hiran. Samples 

were collected from five sampling stations, namely Kimdeshwar, Khitoula, Ghat Simariya, Khinni and Hirapur for two 
consective years. A total of 66 species of phytoplanktons were collected from the Hiran river. The greatest phytoplankton 
density from 830.4 to 4549.9 org/l was found at site S–1, while the least phytoplanktonic density 138.4 to 588.2 org/1 was reported at stations S–5. 
The phytoplankton represented in greatest number of Cyanophyceae and the least density of Dinophyceae. The phytoplankton represented in 
the order of Cyanophyceae > Bacillariophyceae > Chlorophyceae > Dinophyceae.
