A total of 30 algal/phytoplankton samples were collected during this period out of them 121 algal species belonging to 47 genera of 8 phyla (Cyanophyta, Volvocophyta, Bacillariophyta, Xanthophyta, Dinophyta, Euglenophyta, Chlorophyta and Charophyta. Water is rich in primary productivity of algal/phytoplankton species. The abundance of algal species as a result the ratio of gasses was high during field period, which is beneficial for aquatic organisms, fish, fauna etc. Temporarily algal species/phytoplankton, aquatic life disturb due tides, turbid water with suspended salt, material, silt, sand particles etc. While difference species have various value from point of importance like some species are useful for medicine, nitrogen fixing, vitamins, toxic, for oil, pollution, water quality, hard, salinity, alkaline as well as food produced species were recorded.
