    Author(s): Raymond Sunday Ezenweani*, Mabel Amen Akhere and Catherine Olamiposi Ikudaisi

    A limnological study of phytoplankton composition of Aiakhuakhuari river in Oredo local government area was carried out for six months to assess the water quality using phytoplankton composition of the river. Three sampling stations were chosen and phytoplankton samples were collected (using 55 μm plankton net) and values for air temperature, water temperature, pH and total dissolved solids were estimated in situ. A total of 135 phytoplankton species were identified comprising 4 divisions namely; bacillariophyta, Chlorophyta, euglenophyta and cyanophyta. Bacillariophyta, which was represented by two orders (centrales and pennales), dominated the phytoplankton taxa, of which they accounted for 45.92% of the total phytoplankton composition. The division Chlorophyta made the second highest contribution (38.52%), with bulk belonging to the o.. Read More»
