Abstract :
The phytoplankton diversity of river Kuakhai at Bhubaneswar City, Odisha showed altogether 11 species of
Bacillariophyceae, 10 species of Chlorophyceae and 12 species of Cyanophyceae. Bacillariophyceae imparted the dominant group followed by Chlorophyceae and then Cyanophyceae. The diversity index (Hs) ranged from2.22 to 3.14 and the species equitability (j) ranged from 0.76 to 0.98 whereas species richness index (d) ranged from 3.12 to 7.3 at all the study stations. Seasonal plankton count revealed that the Chlorophyceae showed its peak during winter season in both the years whereas Bacillariophyceae and Cyanophyceae showed a bimodal peak.
