Hydrobiological Study of Algae of an Urban Freshwater River
Get PDFBiological assessment is a useful alternative for assessing the
ecological quality of aquatic ecosystems since biological communities
integrate the environmental effects of water chemistry. Algal and water
samples were collected at monthly intervals from three sites of River
Mutha (Pune, India). The most pollution tolerant genera and species of
four groups of algae were recorded from three sites of River. Nygaard's
and Palmer's biotic indices have been used for the assessment of
quality of the River. Phytoplankton encountered in the water body
reflects the average ecological condition and therefore, they may be
used as indicator of water quality. The algal flora of polluted water
bodies shows the dominance of blue green and diatoms like, Oscillatoria
, Lyngbya , Anabena , Microcystis , Navicula , Nitzschia ,
Synedra , Gomphonema through out the investigation many green algae
like, Pandorina , Scenedesmus , Stigeoclonium , Ankistrodesmus ,
Chlamydomonas , also occur abundantly and frequently. @JASE
