Abstract

In the present study, species diversity and phytoplankton abundance were examined in Shahjangi Pond in the Bhagalpur region of Bihar. The present study was carried out from April 2021 to March 2022. Phytoplankton is considered a type of microscopic plankton capability of a photosynthesis process that is found as an essential element of the aquatic ecosystem. Phytoplankton can range in size and shape and they are photosynthesizing autotrophic organism The primary goal of this study is to learn more about the variety of phytoplankton in this pond. A blotting silk net was used to capture the sample. The planktons were collected in wide, thick bottles with a 200ml capacity. The vial containing the filtrate was then brought to the lab. In the laboratory 5ml of 4%, formalin solution was added collected filtrate. Under a compound microscope, sample analysis was carried out at 10x and 40x magnification.
