Diversity of microphytes from some reservoirs of Kolhapur district
Aquatic microphytes are pioneer organisms of an aquatic food chain. The productivity of an aquatic environment depends on the density of microphytes. These produce the food material on which other organisms in the ecosystem sustain. In this context, the present investigation was undertaken to study the diversity of microphytes from some reservoirs (Belawale Budruk, Benikare, Karanjivane, Sonali and Murgud) of Kolhapur District, Maharashtra. About 108 species of microphytes were identified from these lakes. Maximum diversity is observed from Chlorophyceae, followed by Bacillariophyceae and Cyanophyceae.
