Abstract
An investigation of abundance of phytoplankton community such as Chlorophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, Englenophyceae and Cyanophyceae has been carried out in the Samastalab, Jhunjhunu. Jhunjhunu is a district headquarter of the shekhawati region of Rajasthan. The Samastalab is situated about 2Km. away from Roadways Bus depot. This is a small man made seasonal pond which receives rain water during monsoon. It retain water for about 11 months. It becomes completely dry during the month of May. Analysis and assessment of phytoplankton has been carried out for one year from September 2014 to August 2015. About 29 genera were observed during the study period. The phytoplanktons are an important component of aquatic life and play major role in maintaining equilibrium of lentic ecosystem. Phytoplanktons are the pioneer of an aquatic food chain. The density of phytoplankton of an aquatic ecosystem is directly correlated with the productivity.
