Abstract

Present study deals with the investigation of phytoplanktons population in Valkulam pond with respect to physicochemical parameters. The water sample were collected in three seasons and analysed for physicochemical parameters and phytoplankton population. Phytoplankton diversity was observed in distinct groups as Cyanophyceae, Chlorophyceae and Bacillariophyceae. Present study reveals high density of phytoplanktons during postmonsoon with increasing concentration of nitrate, phosphate and sodium. pH of the water was found to be neutral. The result indicates the fact that water quality was favouring the zooplankton growth. Therefore, it could be utilized for inland aquaculture practices.
