  • The research about structure of plankton community and water quality. Research on Structure of Plankton Community in the area of Komering River in the Palembang City of South Sumatera had conducted in February - April 2017. The sampling location was Determination based to Purposive Sampling method, namely based on difference of environmental around. The identification of plankton samples was done at Laboratory of Animal Ecology, Biologi Department, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Science, Sriwijaya University, Indralaya. The results of riset 16 plankton genera consisting of 10 class: Bacillariophyceae, Chloropyceae, Fragilariophyceae, Cyanophyceae, Xanthophyceae, Flagellata, Rizophoda, Crustacea, Branchiopoda, and Nematodes. The ranges of Plankton abundance in the Komering River is low between 1 individual / liter - 91 individuals / liter. The index of spesies diversity of where 0.88 to 1.18, this mine is medium categories. The Plankton Dominan Index at station 3 and are dominant genera, with value 4 0.56 and 0.62, which shows the existence of plankton species that dominate and based on the value of the similarity index shows that between stations research has a high similarity Ranging from 40% - 82%. While Physical-chemical factors in the waters of the river is classified as stable.
