Mahseer ( Tor spp.) conservation programs require information related to habitat characteristics including phytoplankton biodiversity and community structure as biological characteristics. This study aimed to evaluate phytoplankton diversity and community structure in the mahseer habitat, namely reservation and protection area in Muara Bungo and Kerinci Districts of Jambi Province. This study was conducted four times samplings i.e. December 2018, April 2019, July 2019, and October 2019, at three sites of the protected area, namely in Lubuk Alai, Senamat River, and the protected area of Tarutung Village. Furthermore, the data at the three sites were compared with data outside the protected area. Biological indices of the phytoplankton were calculated. The results showed that the mahseer habitat had a high diversity of phytoplankton. The results showed that the mahseer habitat had 8 genera of phytoplankton diversity, dominated by the Bacillariophyceae class, especially Synedra sp. with a dominance rate of more than 60% at each station. The diversity index ranged from 0.95 to 1.18, the evenness index ranged from 0.40 to 0.82, and the dominance index ranged from 0.39–0.43 in protected areas.
