Abstract:
Algae live in a wide range of aquatic environment and are a natural component of the most aquatic ecosystems. In the present study we collected water samples from the Sapan River of four different sites. These samples were collected in rainy season forty-five different algae were recorded from these sites. From the data obtained algal biodiversity were identified from tropic status of lentic water bodies. About nine members belongs to Cyanophycean group, twenty-two members belongs to Chlorophyceae group, thirteen members belongs to Bacillariophyceae group, and one member belongs to Xanthophyceae group. These diversity are studied for the scientific purpose so that further research can be extended on these algae and how these can be utilized economically, and medicinally.
