ABSTRACT
The present study was carried out during March, 2014 to February, 2015 in order to investigate the seasonal diversity of phytoplankton in Pichhola Lake by analyzing monthly variations. In Pichhola Lake 36 genera of algae were recorded. Out of the total 36 genera, 12 were from Cyanophyceae, 9 from Bacillariophyceae, 12 from Chlorophyceae, and 3 belongs to Desmidiaceae. Among phytoplankton Chlorophyceae were dominant over others. According to Palmer’s Index 22 pollution indicating algal genera were observed in Pichhola Lake.
Key words: Seasonal diversity, Phytoplankton, Palmer’s Index, Pichhola Lake.
