Abstract :

The monthly studies on Ganesh pond have shown that, Ganesh pond has a unique ecosystem and the pond considered as a slightly eutrophic pond. The phytoplankton analysis of Ganesh pond showed dominance of Cyanophycean members. Among Cyanophycean members the genera Microcystis was most dominant. Next to Cyanophycean the Chlorophycean members are found dominant. The zooplankton analysis of Ganesh pond showed the dominance of Rotifera. The Cladocera also recorded but their number is less than that of Rotifera. The group Ostracoda represented by single genera. In and around the Ganesh pond the aquatic macrophytes recorded belongs to angiosperms. The study presented here on Ganesh pond was designed to provide baseline data on the biological parameters of Ganesh pond. It is an initial study for Ganesh pond. The biological study of Ganesh pond showed that the pond is a natural ecosystem.
