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.

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.

AbstractThe physico-chemical parameters, plankton and macro-benthic invertebrates of the Lagos Lagoon (Badore, Ajah), Lagos State, Nigeria were studied between February and July 2018 at four sampling stations in a disparate range of human activities and impact. The result of phytoplankton analysis indicated a total of 56 genera with 40 genera within Bacillariophyta, accounting for 72% of the abundance. Zooplankton comprised 26 genera with 82% of the abundance of crustacea. The benthic macroinvertebrates were composed of mollusca, arthropoda and annelida. Results also indicated that the main drivers affecting the abundance and distribution of planktonic and benthic invertebrates were water temperature, pH, TDS and EC. The monthly variations of physico-chemical parameters in the Lagoon could be the result of human activities associated with transportation, fishing and domestic sewage disposal from the surrounding settlements. Therefore, it is necessary that relevant authorities keep in check some of these activities around the Lagoon as well as educate the population on the necessity for the conservation of these water resources.

Phytoplankton, as one of the most important primary producers in aquatic ecosystems, has been widely used to indicate the health of ecosystems. Nine physico-chemical parameters of water, as well as the phytoplankton community, of Al-Chibayish marsh were studied. Samples were collected from four sites and analyzed every two months from January to October 2019.     Seasonal variations in physical and chemical properties were observed at all sites during the study period. The results indicated that 154 species of phytoplankton were recorded. The highest percentage of species was recorded to be 64.28% for Bacillariophyceae (diatoms) (Centrales 3.24% and Pennales 61.03%), followed by Chlorophyceae (16.23%), Cyanophyceae (11.68%), and Charophyceae and Euglenophyceae (3.24%), while Pyrrophyceae recorded the lowest value (1.29%) The numbers of phytoplankton species were 102, 94, 102, 99 in sites 1, 2, 3 and 4 ,respectively, during the study period.  The total density of phytoplankton ranged from 223.769 cells x103 during January to 2784.693 cells x103 during September in site 2, with a clear increase during March and September, while the lowest number was 223.796 - 237.248 cells x103 in January and May, respectively. The dominance of diatoms was observed in all sites by 49.07% of the total density of phytoplankton, while the lowest abundance was 0.04% for the Pyrrophyceae. The results of the statistical analysis showed significant differences among sites and months, concerning the physical, chemical, and biological factors measured during the study period, at p-value <0.05.

The Eastern Harbour (E.H.) is sheltered from the sea by a breakwater with two main entrances through which exchange with the netitic Mediterranean water takes place. Some physico-chemical parameters of the study area showed that dissolved oxygen ranged from 6.57 to 11.4 mg l-1 at the open sea station and 5.08 to 11.71 mg l-1 for the E.H. stations. Higher nutrient concentrations were recorded in the E.H. than that at the open sea station, except for ammonia and nitrate. The phytoplankton flora of the E. H. stations was much richer in species than the adjacent open sea station, attaining 96 and 74 species, respectively. As well as the average phytoplankton density, it was higher in the surface water than near the bottom water layer. With regard to the total phytoplankton community, Bacillariophyceae dominated at all sites, whereas Dinophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Cyanophyceae and Euglenophyceae were rarely recorded. The highest average density of phytoplankton abundance was recorded during March, both at the surface. Correlation coefficient of biological factors with some physico-chemical parameters and a series of stepwise multiple regression equations describing the dependence of phytoplankton density on the changes of most abiotic prevailing conditions are provided and discussed.
