Abstract:
Algal samples were obtained from gut contents of fish Cyprinus carpio Linnaeus collected during September 2002 to August 2003. Ten fish samples were analyzed in each season, as a result of that 59 species belonging to 30 genera of 4 phyla comprising of the phyla: Cyanophyta including 13 species of 9 genera, Volvocophyta containing 16 species of 7 genera, Bacillariophyta including 22 species of 9 genera and Chlorophyta having 8 species of 5 genera were identified. Various physico-chemical parameters were also recorded from freshwater of Kurang River. The water was found to be alkaline, rich in primary productivity and fish production. It was observed that the fish fauna and aquatic life primarily depend on algal species. The ratio of dissolved O2 remained high throughout the year, this and all other properties were found to be beneficial for aquatic life.
