Impact of Abiotic Factors on the Phytoplanktonic Population of A Pond

An  investigation was conducted on the water  quality and phytoplanktonic diversity  of a pond. During the  present  study total  20  genera  were   recorded.  The  study  revealed   that  highest phytoplanktonic population  (1416 units/ ml) was  recorded  during winter season,  whereas  the lowest...

description An  investigation was conducted on the water  quality and phytoplanktonic diversity  of a pond. During the  present  study total  20  genera  were   recorded.  The  study  revealed   that  highest phytoplanktonic population  (1416 units/ ml) was  recorded  during winter season,  whereas  the lowest  phytoplanktonic population (90   units/  ml}  was   recorded   during  monsoon  season. Chlorophyceae was found to be a dominating group.  The annual percentage of Chlorophyceae, Bacillariophyceae  and Cyanophyceae  was  recorded  58.3 %,  27.6  % and  14.1  % respectively. Among   the   Chlorophyceae,   Cosmarium,   Ankistrodesmus,   Closterium,   Chaetophora   and Cladophora  were   dominating    genera.   Desmidium,   Nitzschia  and  Cymbella  dominated   the Bacillariophyceae and Anabena,  Oscilatoria and Nostoc dominated the  Cynophyceae
