“…Algae densities at sites 4, 5 and 6 were significantly (5-fold and 7-fold) higher in autumn than in winter. Chlorophyll a (Chl a), which can be included as a common indicator of algal biomass despite some discrepancy (Atici & Alaş, 2012, Baulch, Turner, Findlay, Vinebrooke, & Donahue, 2009, varied in a similar pattern as the benthic algae density. The highest Chl a content was also recorded in spring at site 7, while the lowest content was found in winter at site 1 ( Figure 8B).…”

Benthic algae and macroinvertebrates play important role in global functioning of aquatic food web. Their spatial and temporal distributions in relation to environmental variables and fish composition were the aims of this study. Both benthic groups of organisms were studied at 10 sites covering the whole area of Lake Qarun. Total of 164 algae species belonging to phyla: Cyanobacteria, Bacillariophyta, Miozoa (previously Dinophyta), Chlorophyta, Cryptophyta, Ochrophyta and Euglenozoa (previously Euglenophyta) were recorded. Macroinvertebrates communities consisted of 16 species representing phyla: Arthropoda, Annelida and Mollusca. The highest densities of benthic algae and macroinvertebrates were recorded in the middle sub-region of the lake in line with the co-domination of tilapias, mullets, soles and anchovy, whereas their lowest density at site 1 in the eastern area. The sites primarily located in the western sub-region with higher density of benthic organisms and domination of Mugil cephalus were distinctly separated from the other sites. Similar trend was in distribution of chlorophyll a content, which strongly correlated with density of benthic algae. Temporal distribution indicated higher algae density in spring and summer, and higher macroinvertebrates density in spring and autumn. The fish community' composition was spatially and temporally different and environmental variables were more similarly distributed.

The present study deals with the limnobiotic status of three selected lakes of Himachal Pradesh using physicochemical and biological parameters (especially phytoplankton and zooplankton) over a period of 2 years. One hundred forty-eight species belonging to nine groups of phytoplankton and 79 species belonging to five groups of zooplankton were identified from the lakes. Trophic level and the pollution status of the lakes were assessed upon the basis of Shannon diversity index (H'), species richness index (S), and physicochemical parameters. Plankton population size was correlated with biotic and abiotic parameters (pH, alkalinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, transparency, phosphate, chloride, and nitrate). The present investigation revealed that the distribution of plankton species depended upon the physicochemical parameters of the environment. Based on water quality standards given by the Central Pollution Control Board, the water quality was between "A-B" at Prashar wetland, "C-D" at Kuntbhyog Lake, and "D-E" at Rewalsar Lake. The results from the present study indicated that the potential of planktons as bioindicators of trophic status is very high.
