Species composition and abundance of the phytoplankton of the Morava and Dyje Rivers are evaluated. Samples were collected at Olomouc, Lanžhot, Devín (the Morava River) and at Pohansko (the Dyje River) in May and August 2006. Both concentrated samples using plankton net and free water were taken at each sampling point. Environmental variables such as pH, temperature, conductivity and dissolved oxygen were also measured. Altogether 542 species and infraspecific taxa of cyanobacteria and algae were identified. Collected data of diversity and abundance were statistically analyzed using NCSS software and Canoco for Windows. Significant differences between sampling sites and sampling time were observed. A complete list of species found at investigated sites is supplied.

Keywords: Morava and Dyje Rivers, potamoplankton, biodiversity, abundance, Czech Republic, Slovak Republic
