| Abstract: | Deterioration of water quality due to high turbidity (11.87±1.13 NTU) and biochemical oxygen demand (1.66±0.38 mg l-1) coupled with low chlorophyll (chl a) (0.94±0.15 mgm-3) during immersion has been recorded. Decreasing trend of numerical density for loricate ciliate tintinnid (microzooplankton) [post-immersion (224±52 cells l-1) > pre-immersion (144±36 cells l-1) > immersion (85±30 cells l-1)] and phytoplankton [post-immersion (2745±912 cells l-1) > pre-immersion (2337±441 cells l-1) > immersion (1660±334 cells l-1)] was evident. |
