Abstract
Cryptomonas ovata and Euglena minima in phytoplankton and Nuzschia pal ea and Navicula cuspidata in periphyton were the most dominant forms i n Dhanmondi lake at Dhaka. Phytoplanktonic chl a and phaeopigment vari ed from 68.85-907.95 mg m-3 and 10.43-400.93 mg m-3 respectively. Very low species diversity (phytoplankton: 0.26-2.01 bit and periphyton: 0 .69-1.1 bit), occasional bloom, and quality of the species recorded qu alify the water as meso-saprobic type.
