Diversity of Phytoplankton and Zooplankton in Welu River in Chantaburi Province
Abstract
Diversity of phytoplankton and zooplankton in Welu River, Chantaburi Province, were studied at “Bo-Charoen”floodgate and “Ta-sorn” estuary. Three samples were collected on March, August and November in 2018. Phytoplanktons were identified to 38 taxa consisted of Chlorophyceae 20 species, Euglynophyceae 5 species, Bacillariophyceae 5 species, Cyanophyceae 4 species, Dinophyceae 3 species and Chrysophyceae 1 species. Chlorophyceae was dominanted taxon at floodgate. At estuary, Bacillariophyceae was dominanted taxon. Zooplankton was identified to 36 taxon; rotifer 21 species, cladoceran 8 species, copepod 7 species and crustacean larva. At floodgate, rotifer was dominated taxon. While estuary, copepod was dominated taxon in March and November and rotifer was dominated in August. Water qualities during studied period of both areas were of an acceptable standard.
