Abstract The diversity of Periphyton studies were carried out from various selected sites and different depths of Siddheshwar reservoir. The periphyton samples were analyzed using quantitatively by the Sedgwick Rafter Counting Cell Phase and Contrast Microscopy after the collection of sample from the different sites at different levels of depths in the reservoir. Periphyton Diversity communities observed belong to different zooplankton, algae and macro invertebrate groups. During the study it is fascinatingly observed that abundance of periphyton were collected from dried submerged woody plant parts like stem and branches reached through the flood in the reservoir, these periphytons are also known as 'Epixylon'. The study is helpful to understand the availability of the usual food materials in the form of periphyton along with the traditionally known zooplankton, phytoplankton and other free living food components for the fishes in the reservoir hence to manage the reservoir fishery based on periphyton
