Investigation of Phytoplankton and Evaluation on Water Quality of Taizi River in Liaoyang Area

Article Preview

Abstract:

To evaluate water quality, an investigation of phytoplankton community was conducted in Taizi River of Liaoyang Area, June 2011. The results showed that 130 species of phytoplankton belong to 6 phyla and 63 genera existed. Chlorphyta has the richest species of algae, which accounted for 43.85% of the total number, followed by Bacillariophyta (32.41%). Water quality in upstream is better than downstream. Species and biomass of Cyanophyta and Euglenophyta which have tolerance of pollution increasing According to the integrative analysis result of Shannon-Wiener diversity index, Pielou Evenness index and Margalef Species diversity index, Taizi river is judged belong to low-polluted or oligo- polluted,but some sites belong to β -moderate polluted, effective managements should be taken in order to control the water pollution.
