PHYTOPLANKTON AND ZOOPLANKTON DIVERSITY OF NATIONAL RIVER OF GANGA IN GARHMUKTESHWAR HAPUR UTTAR PARDESH INDIA

Abstract

A lot of research has been done on Algae in India. It has been studied mainly in Madras University and Banaras Hindu University. Professor M.O.P Iyengar is called the Father of Modern India Algology. Various types of phytoplanktons and Zooplankton are maintaining natural balance in two ghats on the banks of river Ganga in Garhmukteshwar in Hapur district situated in the state of Uttar Pradesh" Brijghat and Pushpawati pooth Ghat". This paper explores the phytoplankton and Zooplankton of Garhmukteshwar district, Hapur. Throws light on the traditional knowledge of their environmental balance and surrounding areas. For the study of different ecosystems, knowledge of the vegetation of any area and its environmental importance is essential. It is necessary for a responsible worker of the classification area to conduct field tests from time to time. The variety of phytoplankton and zooplankton in the Ganga River in 2022 is the primary topic of the study. The present investigation involved collecting samples of phytoplankton and zooplankton from the Ganga River on a regular basis, and then identifying these organisms under a microscope.Among the group's members, Chlorophycae accounted for 50%, Bacillariophycae for 37%, and Cyanophycae for 13% of the time observed.Additionally, researchers discovered that plankton diversity peaked in the winter and then declined in the summer.
