Abstract

Plankton ecology, in relation to abiotic characteristics of water, in two ground water irrigated paddy fields, Indira Nagar, Miran Sahib, Jammu, was undertaken during June, 2002 to September,2002 and has been described. Phytoplankton, qualitatively, has shown the dominance of Bacillariophyceae (7 genera) followed by Cyanophyceae (6 genera) and Chlorophyceae (5 genera). Among zooplankton, there is dominance of Protozoa (19 species) followed by Arthropoda (6 species and 3 larvae), Rotifera (6 species) and Nematoda.Planktonic diversity and density remained low during first observation (preparation of fields). Coefficient of correlation (r) of phytoplankton and zooplankton, with the various water characteristics, is insignificant.
