ECOLOGY OF PHYTOPLANKTON WITH RELATION TO PHYSICO - CHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF BOTHALI (MENDHA) LAKE, GADCHIROLI (M.S.)

RAJENDRA V. TIJARE

Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

Bothali – Mendha lake is located at 200 - 11' latitude and 800 – 04' longitude situated in rural area. The lake is old “Malgujari” Talav type, having an area of about 39.68 hectares. Seasonal variations in the population of phytoplankton in relation to physico-chemical parameters were studied for a period of two years (November 2003 to October 2005) in lake. In all 16 genera were recorded of which 06 belongs to Chlorophyceae, 04 to Basillariophyceae, 03 to Cynophyceae (Myxophyceae), and 01 to Euglenophyceae respectively. Among these four families of phytoplankton Chlorophyceae remains dominant throughout the study period. Phytoplankton species and physico-chemical parameters profiles indicate the lake is oligotrophic.
