SEASONAL DIVERSITY OF PHYTOPLANKTON WITH CORRELATION OF WATER QUALITY PARAMETERS OF LOWER DUDHANA DAM, DIST-PARBHANI (M.S) INDIA
Barve M. B.* and Sonawane D. L.
ABSTRACT
The present study deals with phytoplankton diversity, density and there correlation with water quality parameter of lower dudhana dam at eight different sampling station (A.B, C, D, E, F, G and H) from January to December -2013.The total 23 species were recorded from 04 orders belongs to Chlorophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, Cyanophyceae and Euglenophyceae among these Chlorophyceae was found dominant followed by Bacillariophyceae, Cyanophyceae and Euglenophyceae. The phytoplankton shows seasonal dynamics, maximum population recorded in summer season and minimum population recorded in monsoon season. Diversity indices indicated that lower dudhana dam
although not immaculate, was not polluted.
Keywords: Chlorophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, Cyanophyceae, Euglenophyceae, Lower dudhana dam, Diversity indices.
