Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate Plankton Community Structure in Nakhonnayok River, Nakhonnayok Province in March (dry season ) and September  (rainy season) 2020. The plankton samples were collected from 3 station of 3 districts were Muang, Banna and Ongkharak using plankton nets with mesh sizes of 20 and 120 micrometers for phytoplankton and zooplankton samplings, respectively. In this investigation, the phytoplankton were classified into 5 Division 6 Class 8 Order 18 families  29 genera were recorded namely Division Chlorophyta  (17 genera [58.62%]), Division Cyanophyta  (6 genera [20.69%]), Division Euglenophyta (3 genera [10.34%]) Division Chromophyta  (2 genera [6.90%]) and Division Chrysophyta (1 genera [3.45%] ) respectively with dominant species of  Staurastrum sp., the average of phytoplankton density, diversity index , richness index, evenness index were  45,523 cell/L, 1.34,  1.44, 0.75  respectively. the zooplankton were classified into 4 Phylum 5 Class 7 Order 10 Family  12 genera  were recorded namely Phylum Rotifera  (5 genera [41.67%]) Phylum Arthropoda  (4 genera [33.33%]) Phylum Protozoa (2 genera [16.67%] ), Phylum  Mollusca (1 genera [8.33%]) respectively with dominant species of Difflugia sp., the average of zooplankton density, diversity index , richness index, evenness index were 517  individual/L, 1.58, 1.43, 0.78 respectively. Keywords :  Plankton;  Nakhonnayok River
