Abstract:
Phytoplankton, as primary producers, is integral to the functioning of freshwater ecosystems, profoundly impacting aquatic food webs and water quality. This research investigates the phytoplankton diversity, morphology, and species composition in Shakkar Lake at Narnala Fort, shedding light on its ecosystem dynamics. Plankton samples were collected weekly from four designated sampling sites over a month-long period and preserved in a 5% formalin solution for microscopic analysis. The study identified phytoplankton belonging to the Cyanophyceae, Chlorophyceae, and Bacillariophyceae classes in Shakkar Lake. Within Cyanophyceae, four genera were observed: Anabaena, Nostoc, Microcystis, and Spirulina. Chlorophyceae exhibited three genera: Spirogyra, Cosmarium, and Zygnema, while Bacillariophyceae revealed three genera: Pinnularia, Cymbella, and Ulnaria. These findings provide valuable insights into the phytoplankton community structure of Shakkar Lake, enhancing our understanding of its ecological dynam
