Description :
Planktons are small, most sensitive floating community. Some time it is target of water pollution. Phytoplanktons are the subject of great interest becomes of their role as primary producers in an aquatic ecosystem. Most of the time zooplankton community depends on phytoplankton. The effect of environmental variables play role in altering the phytoplankton density. Water sample were collected monthly during (September 2016 to August2017) at three selected sampling station from Indrayani River, Moshi, Pune. Collected water sample were analyzed qualitatively and quantity wise for their algal population. A total of 62 species were recorded at selected sampling stations. Chlorophyceae was most abundant than Bacillariophycea, Cyanophycea and Euglenophycea. The greater algal population was recorded at station-II than station-I & station-III. The diversity of different phytoplankton is more in summer season than during winter and rainy season.
