One hundred and five taxa belonging to 40 genera were recorded from different sites of Loktak lake. Out of these 6 species belong to 4 genera of Cyanophyceae, 2 species to a genus of Euglenophyceae, 90 species to 28 genera of Chlorophyceae, 1 species to a genus of Charophyceae and 6 species to 6 genera of Bacillariophyceae. The number of Chlorophyceae was about 80% of the total algal taxa. The members of Desmids (Zygnematales) are more diversified amounting to 87% of Chlorophyceae. In 2007 during suvey of Loktak lake, 85 additional algal forms were recorded from this habitat. However, several algal taxa reported earlier in the lake were not observed in the present study.Keywords

Seventy algal taxa belonging to 32 genera were recorded from Kaziranga National Park and Majuli river island of Assam. Of these 22 taxa belonging to 15 genera were recorded from different water bodies within Kaziranga National Park of these, 3 species belonged to 2 genera of Cyanophyceae (Cyanoprokaryota/Cyanobacteria), 2 species to 2 genera of Euglenophyceae, 8 species to 5 genera of Chlorophyceae and 9 species to 6 genera of Bacillariophyceae. The algal diversity in Mjuli island was higher compared to Kaziranga national park. In Majuli a total of 50 algal taxa belonging to 26 genera were recoded. Of these 3 species belonged to 3 genera of Cyanophyceae, 3 species to 2 genera of Euglenophyceae, 34 species to 14 genera of Chlorophyceae and 10 species to 7 genera of Bacillariophyceae. Only 2 species, Phormidium chalybeum (Mertens ex. Gomont) Anagnostidis et Komarek and Ankistrodesmus falcatus (Corda) Raffs were common to these localities showing location specific occurrence of most algal taxa in these two important "hot spots".Keywords

The present study deals with monthly as well as seasonal variation in the major biological composition of different seaweeds namely Enteromorpha intestinalis and Chaetomorpha media of chlorophyceae. Rosenvingea intricate of phaeophyceae and Gracillaria verrucosa, Gracillaria lichenoids and Ceramium elegans of rhodophyceae were available during March 2014 to February 2015 in Chilika Lake of Odisha. Among the three major groups of seaweeds, red algae (rhodophyceae) are rich in carbohydrate content and green algae (chlorophyceae) are rich in protein and lipid contents as compared to other algae. Most of the algal species showed maximum values of major biochemical constituents during post-monsoon period. However, proteins, carbohydrates and lipids play an important role in influencing the calorific value of brown, red and green algae, respectively. The red algae showed highest calorific value (184.32 KCal/g) among the other two algae.Keywords
