Seasonal physico-chemical characteristics assessment and primary production in the planktonic community of Godavari River water, Nashik (Maharashtra)

| Summary: | The physico-chemical characteristics influence the planktonic population whereas primary productivity depends upon the photosynthetic activity of phytoplankton. The productivity is nothing but the amount of organic matter produced by phytoplankton under a unit area of water surface thus influenced by physico-chemicals parameters. The present paper deals with seasonal variations (winter, summer, monsoon) of parameters like Temp, Turbidity, pH, Free CO2, DO, Nitrates, Phosphates, Planktonic community, along with primary production of Godavari river water at Nashik during November 2002 to October 2003. It was observed that the abiotic parameters are in direct correlation with the biota of an aquatic ecosystem. The planktonic community showed direct correlation with primary productivity i.e. maximum in the summer and minimum in the winter.
