Abstract

The Gorja Lake is principal fresh water body located in Gorja village of Bhadrawati tahsil in Chandrapur district of Maharashtra state. Bhadrawati is a tahsil place and it is 25 km north side of Chandrapur and 125 km south east side from Nagpur. It is situated at about 211 m above the mean sea level. A study of Euglenophyceae was undertaken during June 2014 to May 2016, two year to assess the types of Euglenophyceae presents in this water body. This water body is used by local resident’s people for Wasing cloth , Irrication, Fishing activities and open defecation. The Euglenophyceae is important group of freshwater blue green algae. They include some of the most common species which are important both ecologically and scientifically. During the present study 3 species of Euglenophyceae were found at all three sampling sites of Gorja Lake.
