Abstract :
The river son is one of the major hot spot for aquabiodiversity in India. The presented study is conducted on the
variable account of Phytoplankton. Algal communities possess many attributes as biological indicators of spatial and
temporal environmental changes. A total 38 algal taxa belonging to 16 genera have been collected and identified.
Chlorophyceae was the most diverse class having 14 taxa followed by Bacillariophyceae with 9 taxas. The algal
communities correlated with water pollution. The algal community correlated with water pollution. The total biodiversity shows a drastic decrement caused by globalization and human interference in the nature. Present studies examined the potential for algal bio-monitoring across a gradient of agriculturally impacted streams.
