| Abstract | ||
Manipur is located at the northeastern part of India having an alpine climate, very cold in winters and the temperature falls down into zero degrees Celsius while in the summer the temperature goes to 32 degree Celsius. In the present study, the samples were collected from different water bodies (H-1 to H-40) comprising ponds, lakes, rivers, dams, drains, and canals are assessed. At these various types of water bodies, there were 19 genera and 28 species found with 5 centric diatoms and 23 pennales. These were recorded during the month of January and February in 2014. In order to pennales, the dominating diatoms were Nitzschia, Navicula, Synedra, Amphora, Pleurosigma, Mastogloia and Chaetoceros. In order to centric, the dominating diatom was only Cyclotella. Pennales diatoms were dominant than centric diatoms. |
