Description :
The status of the aquatic ecosystem is dependent on the abiotic properties of water and biological diversity of the ecosystem. Phytoplankton, the floating inconspicuous plant plays a major role in the food chain of aquatic ecosystem by biosynthesis of organic matter and thus act as the primary producer of food on which other life forms depend. This paper deals with Dynamics of Chlorophyceae in phytoplankton of Ashti lake, District Wardha. The samples were collected during the month December 2020 to November 2021. Chlorophyceae was the most dominant class of phytoplankton of Ashti lake, District Wardha. The class was represented by 18 genera. Maximum of Chlorophyceae population was observed during winter season 284.7 + 49.28 ind/lit, moderate in summer season 268.5 + 22.69 ind/lit. Microspora spp. And Spirogyra spp. Were other dominating genera, maximum population was observed during summer season.
