Abstract

The phytoplankton diversity of Mangalajodi wetland of Odisha, has been explored for the first time. More than 61 taxa of phytoplankton belonging to 27 genera of algae have been documented. All are first report for the wetland. Two taxon viz. Lepocinclis spirogyroides B.Marin & Melkonian var. indica Keshri & Mal and Trachelomonas armata (Ehrenberg) F. Stein var. indica Keshri & Mal have been proposed new to science. 8 taxa are new record for India while 9 taxa are new to eastern India. 14 taxa are new additions to Odisha. Euglenophycean members are found as dominant component.
