Phytoplankton Diversity in Perennial Reservoirs of Dry Tahsils of Sangli District,Maharashtra. India

摘要

Diversity of phytoplankton in three perennial reservoirs of Sidhewadi, Borgaon and Bimal of Sangli district was studied during two consecutive years (August 2006 to July 2008). The phytoplankton diversity was represented by Chtorophyceae, Cyanophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, Euglenophyceae and Dinophyceae. The present study reports the dominance of the group Chlorophyceae. The diversity of phytoplankton was mainly influenced by seasonal conditions and anthropogenic activities in the reservoir. The maximum diversity was recorded during summer and minimum during rainy season.
