The community of phytoplankton, dominant species and environmental factor were investigated in Motjae-neup from January to September, 1996. A total 45 taxa were identified during the investigation period and composed of 5 classes, 8 orders, 13 families, 24 genera, 37 species, 6 varieties, 2 formation. The most important group was Chlorophyceae with 19(42.2%) taxa, followed by the Bacillariophyceae with 13(28.9%) taxa, Euglenophyceae with 7(15.6%) taxa, Cyanophyceae with 5(11.1%) taxa and Dinophyceae with 1(2.2%) taxon. Frustulia rhomboides, Eunotia lunaris, and Stauroneis anceps were important dominant species at Motjae-neup. The common species of all season are Microsystis aeruginosa, Melosira. varians, Frustulia rhomboides, Pinnularia braunii var. amphicephala, Stauroneis anceps. Ranges of environmental factors were measured : temperature, $3^{\circ}C{\sim}38^{\circ}C$; water temperature, $3.3^{\circ}C{\sim}26.5^{\circ}C$; pH, 5.7~6.38; BOD, $4.3{\sim}19.6mg/{\ell}$; chlorophyll a, $6.9mg/m^3{\sim}25.9mg/m^3$; SS, $26mg/{\ell}{\sim}52mg/{\ell}$; COD, $24{\sim}46mg/{\ell}$; total-N, $0.9538mg/{\ell}{\sim}2.3036mg/{\ell}$; total-P, $0.1057mg/{\ell}{\sim}0.1909mg/{\ell}$; electron conductivity, $25.5{\mu}s/m^3{\sim}2.3036{\mu}s/m^3$.
