Volume : III, Issue : II, March - 2013 ECOLOGY OF PHYTOPLANKTON WITH RELATION TO PHYSICO - CHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF BOTHALI (MENDHA) LAKE, GADCHIROLI (M.S.)![](ArticleImage/No_Image.jpg) 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. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : RAJENDRA V. TIJARE, (2013).
