Abstract

This study conducted a comprehensive investigation into the qualitative and quantitative analysis of plankton diversity and Physico-chemical water quality parameters in the Yamuna River. Samples were collected from the Wazirabad barrage from June 2022 to November 2022, revealing a diverse phytoplankton community consisting of 50 genera distributed across five major classes. The abundant classes were Bacillariophyceae, with 18 genera, followed by Chlorophyceae with 20 genera, Cyanophyceae with 9 genera, Euglenophyceae with 2 genera, and Dianophyceae represented by a single genus. The qualitative analysis uncovered a zooplankton community with 20 genera from Protozoa and Rotifera, Copepoda, and Cladocera. Protozoa were represented by two genera, Copepods exhibited eight genera, Cladocera included five genera, and Rotifera featured four genera. The most abundant class of phytoplankton is Chlorophyceae and Zooplankton is Copepods. Physico chemical water quality parameters more fluctuation during the study period. These findings offer valuable insights into the biodiversity and composition of phytoplankton and zooplankton communities in the Wazirabad Barrage ecosystem.
