The phytoplankton was assessed quantitatively and qualitatively in regard to their abundance in creek waters at three sites along the western mangrove of Kachchh. In total one hundred and four species of phytoplankton were identified. Among them 82 species diatoms (Bacillariophyceae), 16 species dinoflagellates (Dinophyceae), 3 species blue greens (Cyanophyceae) and 2 species were green algae. The density in all the three sites varied from 94,166.67 to 2,44,500 cells l(-1). The salinity ranged from 36 to 44 per thousand, temperature 17 to 35 degrees C and pH ranged from 7 to 8.9 respectively. These semi arid zone mangrove creek area having high densities were recorded during monsoon and early winter season.
对卡奇西部红树林沿岸三个地点的小溪水中浮游植物的数量和种类进行了评估。总共鉴定出104种浮游植物。其中硅藻（硅藻纲）82种，甲藻（甲藻纲）16种，蓝藻（蓝藻纲）3种，绿藻2种。所有三个地点的密度在94,166.67至244,500个细胞/升之间变化。盐度范围为千分之36至44，温度为17至35摄氏度，pH值分别为7至8.9。这些高密度的半干旱地区红树林小溪区域是在季风和初冬季节记录到的。
