Abstract
The Benthos characteristics of the Asiganga River were analyzed during November 2008-October 2009. The samples were collected from Sangamchatti (Site—S1) and Gangori (Site—S2) at Uttarkashi. A total of 20 benthic genera were recorded in present study belonging to six major groups viz. Ephemeroptera (4), diptera (6), trichoptera (5), coleoptera (2), lepidoptera(1), plecoptera (1) and neuroptera (1). The present study revealed that the water quality of river Asiganga was fairly good for the growth and survival of benthos, and as a result it sustains the higher benthic diversity of Asiganga River.
