The present study deals with phytoplankton population of Navule pond in Shivamogga during September 2014 to August 2015. Blue-greens constituted the major group (41.75%) followed by Chlorococcalas (36.68%), Diatoms (13.36%), euglenoids (7.35%) and Desmids (0.86%). The phytoplankton community was composed of 11 species of Blue-greens, 20 species of Chlorococcales, 18 species of Diatoms, 11 species of Euglenoids and 08 species of Desmids. Each group of phytoplankton showed different peak periods, the summer season produces relatively more phytoplankton than rainy and winter season. The variations in physico-chemical parameters are responsible for the fluctuation of quantity of phytoplankton.  The dominant genera recorded on the pond were Anabaenopsis sp., Ocillatoria sp., Euglena sp., and Phacus. Some of the pollution tolerant species identified during the present study are Scenedesmusquadricauda, Coelastrum sp., Tetraedonmuticum, Ocillatoria sp., Phormidium sp., Microcystis sp., Anabaena sp., Navicula sp., Synedra ulna, Cyclotella sp., and Pinnularia sp. In the present study Microcystisaeroginosa was recorded indicates the civic pollution.

The aim of the study was to assess the effect of temperature on the occurrence of desmids on a lentic waterbody viz. Jawahar Bal Udhyan Pond situated in northern direction of the Bhopal district with reference to its seasonal variation in physico-chemical parameters. Water temperature of the lentic water body varied between 16.2°C to 31.9°C in winter and summer season respectively. During the present study period a total of 18 desmid taxa of 6 genera were encountered in which Cosmarium dominated in terms of species diversity. Desmids occurred maximum in winter season i.e., from December to February and minimum in post monsoon season i.e., from October and November. Different species of Closterium, Euastrum, Staurastrum, Pleurotaenium, and Sphaerozosma are considered as pollution tolerant species and the presence of all these species and result of physico-chemical parameters indicates the meso-eutrophic condition of the waterbody.

The paper deals with monitoring of pollution arising due to agrochemicals and pesticides manufacturing industries located along the Dombivali industrial belt of Mumbai, India. The study was carried for the period of one year from June, 2012 to May, 2013 to study the level of toxic heavy metals and the physico-chemical properties of waste water effluents discharged from the above industries. The average concentration of Cu, Ni, Cr, Pb and Zn was found to be maximum of 29.86, 0.90, 1.16 and 1.19 ppm respectively in summer season, while average Fe concentration was maximum of 51.10 ppm in winter season. The average pH value of the effluent was found to be maximum of 12.95 in summer season, while average conductivity value was maximum of 21085 µmhos/cm in rainy season. The majority of physco-chemical parameters like alkalinity, hardness, salinity, chloride, cyanide, phosphate, total solid, BOD and COD content were found to be maximum in summer season having the average values of 1918, 186, 4, 11.20, 0.07, 81, 6391, 685 and 2556 ppm respectively. The average DO content was found to be low of 4.5 ppm in winter season. It was observed that the concentration level of majority of the toxic heavy metals and physico-chemical properties were above the tolerable limit set for inland surface water. The results of present study indicates that the existing situation if mishandled can cause irreparable ecological harm in the long term well masked by short term economic prosperity due to extensive industrial growth

Course Of Study

Impact assessment was carried out on the zooplankton diversity of Pohra, Wadali and Chhatri surface water reservoirs around Amravati with respect to their physico-chemical characteristics. During course of study zooplankton were represented by five major groups i.e. Ostracoda, Rotifera, Cladocera, Protozoa and Copepoda.  High value of physico-chemical parameters and low zooplankton diversity were recorded in Chhatri reservoir, moderate in Wadali lake and low value of physico-chemical parameters and high zooplankton diversity were recorded in Pohara lake. The Chhatri reservoir was found to contain most of the pollution indicator species. Wadali reservoir also exhibited few pollution tolerant species. Prominent among them were Ceratodaphnia, Lepadella, Monostyla, Rotarria, Cyclops, Diaptomus and Ectocyclops. The water in all the reservoirs was found to be eutrophic in the order of Pohra > Wadali > Chhatri.

AbstractThe goal of this paper was to explain variability of phytoplankton in a shallow coastal area in relation to physico-chemical parameters. Temporal variability and composition of phytoplankton were investigated in the Kotor Bay, a small bay located in the south-eastern part of the Adriatic Sea. Samplings were performed weekly from February 2008 to January 2009 at one station in the inner part of the Kotor Bay, at five depths (0 m, 2 m, 5 m, 10 m, 15 m). Phosphates, nitrites and nitrates ranged from values under the level of detection to the maximum values of 1.54, 1.53 and 23.91 µmol l−1, respectively. The phytoplankton biomass — represented by chlorophyll a concentration — ranged from 0.12 to 6.78 mg m−3, reaching a maximum in summer. Diatoms were present throughout the whole sampling period, reaching the highest abundance in March (3.42×105 cells l−1at surface). The peak of dinoflagellates in July (2.2×106 cells l−1 at surface) was due to a single species, Prorocentrum micans. The toxic dinoflagellate Dinophysis fortii occurred at a concentration of 2140 cells l−1 in May. The present results of phytoplankton assemblages and distribution provide valuable information for this part of the south-eastern Adriatic Sea where data is currently absent.
