Abstract
The present study deals with the plankton component in Yamuna river basin. During the study period (2006-07) total number of plankton comprises of zooplankton, Bacillariophyceae, Chlorophycea, Desmideaceae and Myxophyceae and range from 90 unit/liter (August) to 531 unit/liter (February) for Kuthnor, 96 unit/liter (August) to 557 unit/liter (February) for Naugaon and 105 unit/liter (August) to 569 unit/liter (February) for Haripur. Bacillariophyceae was found as dominating group followed by Chlorophyceae, Desmideaceae and Myxophyceae.
