Abstract
Planktons are the organisms that are basically, wanderers that moves
for some short distances and are usually found at the epilimnion. The present
work is aimed at understanding the variation in planktonic communities, health
of ecosystem or disturbance, Eco-toxicity and sustainability. The water and
plankton samples were collected from a Lakhota Lake of Jamnagar city, Gujarat,
India for a period of two year from sept 2020 to oct 2021 between 6:00 A.M and
9:00 A.M. Most of the physicochemical parameters are very suitable for
phytoplankton growth. The result showed that there were highly significant
differences in Alkalinity, pH, BOD, DO, COD, TDS, TH, P, Nitrate, calcium,
magnesium, colour and turbidity among seasons and between sites of lake during
study period. Environmental factors positively correlated with phytoplankton
which were analysed by CCA and correlation coefficient During study period 15
different species observed which can belong to Bacillariophyceae (07 species),
Chlorophyceae (04 species) and Cyanophyceae (3 species) Euglenophycea (01
Species). Different diversity indices and saprobic index also show high
diversity and moderate pollution in the study area.
