S.D The free floating and free-swimming, minute algae morning between 7:00 am to 9:00 am. The quantitative together with similar other organisms constitute the and qualitative analysis was carried out by taking 20 plankton of the ocean and lakes. Among me algae mls. Of concentrate obtained by siphoning the approximately 10% of the species are marine and 90% supernatant liquid. Identification of Phytoplankton of are fresh water. Phytoplanktons are found generally in different class of different genera were carried out very large number. An estimation of their number can under research microscope. The identification was be gathered by the statement of Prescott (1969) that done up to generic level as described by Fritsch (1956) some ‘Phytoplanktons may occur in quantities as high and L Desikachary (1959). as 40,000,000 per liter, but this number can be quickly RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: During the study reduced’ because they form a regular food of aquatic about 30 genera of Phytoplankton were studied. Out animals. Phytoplanktons represents more of these 15 belongs to class Chlorophyceae, 07 of comprehensive biological index of the environmental Cyanophyceae, 07 belong to Bacillariophyceae and 1 conditions. Planktons occur in all natural water as well belongs to Euglenophyceae. Kumawat and Jawle (2003) as in artificial impoundments like ponds, tanks, recorded 59 genera ofPhytoplanktons from a fishpond reservoirs, irrigation cannels, etc. Phytoplankton plays at Anjale. Sirsat et, ai. (2004) recorded 24 genera of an important role a primary producer in fresh water Phytoplankton from freshwater pond at Dharmapuri in ecosystem. Beed district, Maharashtra.
