Studies on monthly variations of phytoplankton in a freshwater tank of Talsande, Maharashtra were carried out from May 1999 to April 2001. The phytoplankton in tank was represented by Chlorophyceae, Cyanophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, Euglenophyceae and Dinophyceae. The values of percentage composition of each group of phytoplankton indicated that Cyanophyceae (35.77%) formed largest group followed by Bacillariophyceae (34%), Chlorophyceae (27.4%) and Euglenophyceae (2.24%). Maximum density of phytoplankton was reported during summer, and minimum during monsoon.

Abstract


Studies on monthly variations of phytoplankton in a freshwater tank of Talsande, Maharashtra were carried out from May 1999 to April 2001. The phytoplankton in tank was represented by Chlorophyceae, Cyanophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, Euglenophyceae and Dinophyceae. The values of percentage composition of each group of phytoplankton indicated that Cyanophyceae (35.77%) formed largest group followed by Bacillariophyceae (34%), Chlorophyceae (27.4%) and Euglenophyceae (2.24%). Maximum density of phytoplankton was reported during summer, and minimum during monsoon.
