Abstract

In the present study, fresh water diatoms of Galta kund, Jaipur were investigated between October 2009 and September 2010. Twenty Four species of diatoms were identified from Galta Kund. These species belong to eleven genera namely: Cyclotella (2), Melosira (2),Navicula (4), Achnanthes (2), Amphora (1), Synedra (2), Nitzschia (5), Gomphonema (3),Hantzschia (1), Pinnularia (1) and Fragillaria (1). Diversity indices Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H’), Evenness index (J’) and Berger Parker Dominance (DBP) were calculated. This study concludes that the diatoms attains maximum growth during the winter season and gradually declines in summer to reach its minimum during the rainy season.

 

Key words: Algae, diatoms, Galta Kund, Rajasthan.
