Abstract The variations in the number of Melosira granulata in the vertical column of the White Nile was followed for 18 months during the years 1969–71, together with diurnal changes. The monthly as well as the diurnal fluctuations in the levels of certain physical and chemical parameters were simultaneously considered. The counts indicated noticeable progressive decreases from surface to the bottom of the river. Pronounced stratification of the alga was evident during certain months but without apparent correlation with any of the factors analysed.
