This study was carried out from April 1999 to March 1999. During this study 55 genus of phytoplankton were seen including: diatoms (Bacillariophyceae), dinoflagellates (Dinophyceae) and blue green algae (Cynaophyceae). The most population was seen in diatoms (25583 cells/lit), dinoflagellates (687 cells/lit) and blue green algae (75 cells/lit), respectively. The highest record of diatoms was seen in winter (66922 cells/lit), but blue green algae were dominated in summer (157 cells/lit). The highest population of phytoplankton was seen in during June in surface water of eastern creek (156660 cells/lit). In statistical study, difference between stations of two branches of creek (east branch and west branch) wasn't significant.
