R. Purushothama, Mahesh Anand Goudar and H. A. Sayeswara

In the present investigation, the population and density study of 5 classes of Phytoplankton viz., chlorococcales, diatoms, desmids, blue greens and euglenoids in two selected tanks was carried out in relation to 21 physico-chemical water quality parameters. The results obtained were correlated to conclude about nutrients and mesotrophic conditions of the selected water bodies.
