AN ASSESSMENT OF PHYTOPLANKTON DIVERSITY OF TIGHRA RESERVOIR, GWALIOR (MADHYA PRADESH)

Dr. Dushyant Kumar Sharma

Abstract :

Phytoplanktons which are present in a variety of aquatic habitats were studied with respect to their species diversity and seasonal distribution. Studies on phytoplankton of Tighra reservoir, Gwalior (M.P.) were undertaken for one complete year (November 2010 to October 2011). Among the total 26 genera recorded during the study, 9 were from Bacillariophyceae, 9 from Chlorophyceae, 6 from Myxophyceae and 2 from Euglenophyceae. Bacillariophyceae was the most dominant group followed by Myxophyceae, Chlorophyceae, and Euglenophyceae. Seasonal variations were observed in the distribution of phytoplankton. Seasonally, the number was highest during summer.
