Abstract

Macrophytic and phytoplankton vegetation plays an important role to maintaining the ecosystem . Aquatic macrophytes are key components of waterscape because they provide food, affect nutrient cycles and mainly because they increase the habitat complexity. Aquatic macrophytes play a prominent role in water ecosystems. Aquatic plant provide directly or indirectly food, shelter and habitat for a large number of aquatic organisms called zooplankton in which some importanant small fishes, crabs and many more organism. Macrophytes play a significant role in maintaining the growth of fauna in water bodies. the present study focused on microphytes present water as well as along the edge of the Pulgaon river. The present study carried out month Jan 2016- 2017 which include some floating, free-floating, submerged and some algal species also.
