Experimental study was conducted to assess on the impact of bamboo substrate in Penaeus vannamei culture in cement and earthen system upon the taxonomic diversity of periphyton in low saline ground water (5 gL-1) salinity. This study was conducted for a period of 90 days in 15 tonnes outdoor circular cement tanks and 3000m2 earthen ponds using Split bamboo (4 cm width) as substrate. The taxonomic community reported from the cement tanks of this study was from 9 genera representing 4 groups of Bacillariophyceae (4), Chlorophyceae (2), Cyanophyceae (2) and Euglenophyceae (1). In earthen system the taxonomic community of periphyton was belonging to 10 genera of phytoperiphyton from 4 groups of Bacillariophyceae (4), Chlorophyceae (3), Cyanophyceae (2) and Dinoflagellate (1). Zooperiphyton was represented from 1 group with 1 genus in the earthen system. The overall taxonomic community recorded in inland low saline water were comparatively lower than those reported from fresh and marine waters reported in other studies.
