ABSTRACT
As we have decided to know the study of few phytoplanktonic genera and the virtuous population of mainly twenty-four genera of phytoplankton namely Oedogonium, Ankistrodesmus, Chlamydomonas, Hydrodictyon, Carteria, Pandorina, Volvox, Stauroneis, Diatoms, Diadesmis, Frustulia, Didymosphenia, Navicula, Spirogyra, Closterium, Zygnema, Cosmarium, Fragilariforma, Fragilaria, Anabaena, Oscillatoria, Ulothrix, Chlorella and Euglena observed in the main stream of the Godavari River. However, as per my objectives of studies we have identified this plankton by selected standard method. The genera belonging to Chlorophyceae class are main in selected Godavari River main stream throughout the study period of (2019-2020). As we were decided to know the study of few planktonic species and my observation are that there are upright populations of different plankton in the river main stream. However, as per objectives of study the plankton were observed by qualitative (Identification) method. My observation showed that, variety of freshwater plankton was found in the selected samples.
