Distributional Status of the Diversity of Phytoplankton Population in Fresh Water Lake

Authors(2) :-K. Rajyalaxmi, M. Aruna

Phytoplanktons are primitive, usually aquatic, photosynthetic and delightful organisms in their diversity and efficacy. Phytoplankton comprises a well-organized system for trapping the solar energy. These miniature amaze ball phykos alone contribute 90% of the total oxygen produced by the plant kingdom. They are prime manufacturers in water ecology and play a crucial role in converting sewage and waste water into beneficial biomass. Most of the Phytoplanktons grow in different water bodies such as ponds, pools, ditches, lakes, reservoirs, rivers and oceans. But some of them are common and widespread in habitat of the soil surface layer wherever moisture and sunlight are available. The main aim of the present study was to explore the phytoplankton from Singabhupalem Lake, study the diversity pattern and assess quality of the lake. In the present study a total number of 75 taxa of fifty-three genera, thirty families and fifteen orders of phytoplankton belonged to four classes such as Chlorophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, Cyanophyceae and Euglenophyceae were recorded. The phytoplankton diversity study provided several new data with many of the phytoplankton taxa being recorded for the first time in study site, such as 32 taxa among the Chlorophyceae, 21 taxa of the Bacillariophyceae, 17 taxa of the Cyanophyceae and 5 taxa of the Euglenophyceae. The present observations revealed that Chlorophyceae species were dominant followed by Bacillariophyceae, Cyanophyceae and Euglenophyceae.
