DIVERSITY AND SEASONAL FLUCTUATION OF PHYTOPLANKTON IN FRESHWATER RESERVOIR KHAIRKATTA DIST, KANKER, CHHATTISGARH

ABSTRACT

Phytoplankton are the subject of great interest becomes of their role as primary producers in an aquatic ecosystem. The quantitative and qualitative studies of phytoplankton may provide good indices of water quality and capacity of water to sustain heterotrophic communities. The phytoplanktonic community are 29 species of the following 4 group Chlorophyceae 12 Species (48.00%), Myxophyceae 9 Species (36.00%) Bacillariophycveae 3 Species (12.00%) and Euglenophyceae 1 species (4.00%) has been observed Khairkatta Dam during study periods. The Diversity of the different phytoplankton in more summer season than during winter and rainy season.
