Algological investigations conducted in the Southern Fergana Canal during 2021–2025 revealed that 101 out of 344 identified algal species and intraspecific taxa were indicator–saprobic algae (94 species, 6 varieties, and 1 form). Taxonomic analysis showed that these indicator–saprobic algae belong to 4 divisions, 8 classes, 9 orders, 15 families, and 34 genera. Indicator–saprobic algae accounted for 29.4% of the total algoflora recorded in the canal, demonstrating their high diagnostic value for assessing organic pollution and ecological water quality.
