Periphyton from rice-fish environment of Apatani Plateau, Arunachal Pradesh, India was studied for diversity and productivity (Chlorophylla and biomass) on artificial (glass slide) and natural (rice stem) substrates. Periphyton from rice stems, especially, from cultivars locally known as ‘Amo’ were collected from a depth of 7.0-8.0 cm from surface water and 5.0 cm above from the field bottom. G...
