QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE ASSESSMENT OF PHYTOPLANKTON IN LIMBOTI DAM, TALUKA LOHA, DISTRICT NANDED (M. S.) INDIA.
Keywords:
Limboti dam, Phytoplankton, Chlorophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, CyanophyceaeAbstract
Quantitative and qualitative assessment of Phytoplankton of Limboti dam, Taluka Loha, District Nanded, Maharashtra. The study was carried out from June 2019 to May 2020. Phytoplankton quantitative and qualitative assessment was composed of 28 species of chlorophyceae, 23 species of Bacillariophyceae, 18 species of cyanophyceae, 9 species of Euglenophyceae. Among phytoplankton particularly chlorophyceae was the dominant group throughout the study. The highest count of 265 species was recorded in the month of May. The qualitative and quantitative assessment of variation of Limboti Dam showed high quantity of phytoplankton population during study periods. The present study revealed that the water Limboti Dam useful for pisciculture, irrigation and for drinking purpose.
