Abstract :

The present study was carried out on Ghuma lake of Ghuma village. Ghuma village is situated in Daskroi taluka of Ahmadabad district, Gujarat State. The plankton were collected, counted and were identified by using the method suggested by APHA (1995), Prescott (1970), Freshwater Zooplankton of India (Battish, 1992) and Fresh Water Biology (Edmondson, 1959). The plankton was counted by using Sedgwick Rafter Counting Cell method. Different classes such as cyanophyceae, chlorophyceae, bacillariophyceae, euglenophyceae, cilliata, cledocera, copepod and specimens from phylum rotifera were identified during the study. Among all these classes the listed phytoplankton such as Oscillatoria sp., Tetraedron sp., Navicula sp., Nitzschia sp, Euglena sp. and zooplankton such as Ceriodaphnia sp., Cyclops sp., Tropocyclops sp., Brachionus sp. and Platyias sp. were recorded as a dominant genera in Ghuma Lake. The study was carried out monthly but was tabulated seasonally by using statistical method. From the listed data the quality of water was concluded.
